herbst.freitag

For a narrow bar and retail space, furniture and objects were developed that remain spatially restrained, radiate calm, yet still offer sufficient display surfaces for products. 

The result includes two distinct shelving systems, a long communal table, and a mobile bar.

Despite their functional differences, all pieces share a common language of interlocking and interpenetrating elements — serving both as construction detail and source of tension.

Furniture and Interior Design

 

Hannes Herbst + Robert Freitag

We are two designers and students of interior architecture at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.

Together as studio herbst.freitag based at Pittlerwerke Leipzig we try to shape objects and spaces through materiality and aesthetization of mundane, industrial means and production methods. Rather than being subordinated as purely functional details, we treat them as ornaments.

 

Our functional objects and interventions are intended to respond to spaces, to have the ability to structure and invite.
