Born in 1942, between 1972 and his death in 2019 Burkhard Vogtherr ran a product design agency. He worked for prestigious furniture manufacturers the world over, was one of the most famous German furniture designers, and won multiple awards during his career. His expertise in areas such as sitting posture at work and movement sequences was incorporated in his designs for swivel chairs and conference furniture. However, Burkhard Vogtherr did not restrict himself just to form and design – he developed prototypes that stand in their own right. This often resulted in highly inventive furniture leading to patents across the globe.

In 1995, after completing his industrial design studies, Jonathan Prestwich moved to Boston. Since 2004, the Brit has run his own studio in London. In the first few years after graduating, he spent six years working with the well-known furniture designer Burkhard Vogtherr in France. As a result of his many years of experience and his cooperation with various designers, Prestwich has an extensive knowledge of how good products are made. Office furniture and lighting design are a particular focus. He especially enjoys designing products for the generations to come, and combines inspiration from nature with ultra-modern technology to create simple, elegant and innovative products.
