Concetto
Uno dei luoghi più belli e incontaminati del Salento, dove le basse scogliere si appoggiano sulle acque cristalline dello Ionio e disegnano un profilo sinuoso, ha ispirato la mente creativa di Sebastian Herkner. Così è nato Litos, il divano informale di Cappellini che rende omaggio nella sagoma e nel nome a una delle località più affascianti del Parco Naturale di Porto Selvaggio.
Il mare con la sua incredibile palette cromatica incontra un paesaggio morbido, quasi lunare, f atto di insenature e propaggini. La meraviglia della natura diventa protagonista dell’abitare con il sistema di imbottiti Litos: gli schienali bassisiaccostano ad ampie e voluminosesedute dalle forme tondeggianti e irregolari che richiamano l’andamento della scogliera salentina.
Adatto ad arredare spazi ampi oppure intimi, ambienti domestici o aree lounge nell’ambito dell’ospitalità, Litos si definisce in una serie di moduli che si possono combinare in svariate configurazioni e prevedono anche la possibilità di aggiungere elementi bracciolo.
I rivestimenti sfoderabili, scelti nei tessuti o nelle pelli del catalogo Cappellini, conferiscono al progetto Litos un’immagine sempre diversa. I cuscini liberi e facilmente posizionabili, combinati ai grandi elementi poggiatesta, garantiscono il massimo comfort.
Litos mescola formalità e informalità, design e amore per la natura, in una nuova esperienza di relax.

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
