About this product
Architonic ID: 20092423
Year of Launch: 2020
Concept
Ambient Nest
Inspired by the precise designs of the weaver bird, these nest like suspended lanterns gently rotate and sway in the evening breeze. As the night draws in, the soft (solar LED) light shining through the detailed weave throws dancing shadows as the setting sun shimmers through the leaves.
Ambient Cocoon
Mimicking the perfect texture and symmetry of silk cocoons, these minimal and delicate looking lanterns are deceptively tough. Manufactured from modern plastics and combined with a striking solid, buffed teak handle of almost agricultural purity, these (solar LED) lights are as much about design as they are about illumination.
Danish designer Henrik Pedersen has combined an extensive background in interior lighting with an intimate knowledge of outdoor furniture to create the Ambient collection. Asked about the design influences, Henrik says “My path in design has led me through many parts of the world, many cultures… Light and warmth are always principal parts of the best social environments and the most modest of devices are often the most effective. Here I combine the worlds of simplicity and light to achieve beautiful background illumination”. Two distinct designs are available and, as the name suggests, create the perfect ambience alongside any Gloster collection as the sun begins to set.
Smooth tough modern plastics are paired with statement buffed teak handles creating Cocoon. For Nest, man-made fibres in either Steel or Fawn colour, encase a colour matched powder coated stainless steel frame. Both styles of lantern create soft mood lighting with the use of integrated solar charged LED lights.
Ambient Mesh
Light and shadow make the shapes come alive. Like semi-transparent structures, they present themselves in the dark. A beacon calling out, inviting you in and creating an imaginary room with a soft and warm ambiance. Ambient Mesh by Henrik Pedersen hints to rustic origins. Here, the latticework of woven shades in a variety of sizes and colours, paints a subtle pattern in the dark- breaking up straight lines and creating a whole new set of outdoor decorations.
Available as a free-standing, table size lantern or a more imposing tall standard lamp, Ambient Mesh outdoor lights are available with either light (Sorrel) colour wicker shades or a darker (Carob) colour. These are combined with slender, powder coated aluminium bases with buffed teak detailing.
Ambient Line
Elegant and precious. Using a mouth-blown, smoked glass cylinder with retro styled reeded glass detailing and a cast metal frame, Ambient Line by Sebastian Herkner is a classical solution to portable outdoor lighting. The collection exists in two forms, one with cast metals handles to carry them around, another with a permanent metal stand to make a lasting impression.
Both Ambient Mesh and Ambient Line feature Gloster’s tried and trusted outdoor LED light unit. These can be charged either by mains power or via a solar panel on the top surface of the unit. With a battery life of approximately 8 hours on maximum light setting, they are the perfect accessory to any outdoor living environment.

Studio Sebastian Herkner
Germany
Profile Sebastian Herkner was born in 1981 in Bad Mergentheim. He studied product design at the HfG Offenbach am Main (Offenbach University of Art and Design), already focusing during his studies on designing objects and furniture merging various cultural contexts, combining new technologies with traditional craftsmanship in order to highlight the multifaceted beauty of the materials and draw renewed attention to small details. Whilst still a student, Herkner did an internship with Stella McCartney in London, which helped to hone his feeling for materials, colours, structures and textures. Since founding his own design studio in Offenbach am Main in 2006, he has designed products for manufacturers such as ClassiCon, Dedon, Fontana Arte, La Chance, Moroso, Pulpo, Rosenthal and Very Wood, as well as working on interior design projects and for exhibitions and museums. Since 2007 he has taught several courses at HfG Offenbach am Main as visiting lecturer. His designs have received multiple prizes, for example the 2011 German Design Award in the Newcomer category, 2015 the EDIDA Award for Best International Newcomer and Guest of Honor at imm cologne 2016. // written by Markus Frenzl “There is a sensitivity and identity to my work that emphasizes the function, the material and the detail. I transport and interpret characteristics from various contexts of society and culture and implement them in new artifacts. This character infuses the most everyday objects with respect and personality. In this manner, seemingly contrary things can experience esteem.“ Sebastian Herkner, born 1981, studied Product Design at Offenbach Design Academy. During his studies he did an internship at Stella McCartney in London and developed a particular liking there for color, material and their connection. Since graduating from Offenbach in 2007 he has worked as assistant in the Product Design faculty and is in charge of projects in the realm of integrated design. As early as 2006 Sebastian Herkner established his own studio and has since then been involved in freelance projects for various companies and institutes. Alongside the design of exhibitions and trade fair presentations his second focus is on designing everyday objects. He is influenced in this by his observations of people and their actions. In this context it is important to look beyond your own disciplines in order to achieve a value-added for the user. Sebastian Herkner is not so much influenced by trends or current consumer criteria, because what interests him is a collage of simple techniques and traditional materials coupled with a simple mechanical principle and an unambiguous function. His idea of sustainability consists of employing traditional manufacturing techniques and their unique character. He then combines and interprets this by employing new technologies and finishing methods. In spring 2010 his occasional table Bell-Table was presented in New York in the collection of Spanish manufacturer ABR, which also received the red dot award 2010. // written by German Design Council Even at this early stage in his career Sebastian Herkner is attracting attention with his outstanding works. We can look forward to being surprised by more of his designs in the future. // Roland Heiler, Managing Director Porsche Design GmbH
