Venier Screen by Sebastian Herkner

Venier screen by Sebastian Herkner Materials: Black powder-coated metal, Hide Dimensions: W 248 x D 2.5 x H 177.8 cm Other dimensions available: small: W248 x D2.5 x H141.8 cm The appeal of the Venier screen resides first in its decorative quality, even before any consideration for its function. Rather than adapt to any sort of interior setting, it enhances the surrounding decor and draws attention by its very distinctive and flamboyant character. The strips of coloured leather criss crossing against the metal structure create an unusual geometric effect and a sense of movement. The meticulous weaving work and attention to material quality heighten its practicality and pleasant aura. With a decorative manner, Venier suggests a division within a room without completely fading away into the background. The German designer Sebastian Herkner, born 1981, studied Product Design at HfG Offenbach University of Art and Design. Designing objects and furniture, he honed his keen sense for materials, colors and textures. After working for Stella McCartney in London, Sebastian Herkner founded his own studio in 2006 and he has designed furniture, lamps and smaller items for manufacturers. An unconditional love for traditional craftsmanship paired with a good feel for new technologies, a true flair for color, authentic materials and textures, an unadulterated curiosity for different cultures, these are the characteristics of Sebastian Herkner’s work, from objects and furniture creation to interior architecture projects. His works have won numerous prizes. Maison&Objet Paris has also elected him 2019 “Designer of the Year”.
