002_mirror bed

By modifying the design of an SBW002, the skeleton structure can be covered with mirror surfaces. The covering does not collide with the concept of the light and transparent body that is inherent in the SBW series. The bed remains light and seems to float away from its materiality. The sides of the bed are closed, but thanks to the mirrors, the impression of a light body is retained. This creates a body that can also be seen in small rooms and can connect breaks in the room.

Studio for Contemporary Welding
Furniture and Interior Design

 

Hannes Herbst + Robert Freitag

We are designers trained in interior architecture, combining academic research with professional practice. Our studio brings together the perspectives of a graduated interior architect and an interior architecture student from the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.

As studio herbst.freitag, based at Pittlerwerke Leipzig, we work on objects and spatial concepts informed by material-driven design and industrial production methods. Our practice focuses on the deliberate articulation of construction and materiality, treating functional elements as integral components of spatial and formal expression.

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