Sebastian Bergne, London

Sebastian Bergne lives and works in London and Bologna. His designs are characterised more by his approach than by a particular use of shapes. At the same time Sebastian Bergne strives towards innovations, derived from a sensitive combination of cultural references, humour, functional new interpretation as well as an analysis of the relative manufacturing technology. Sebastian Bergne is known above all for his clear, modern furniture designs and interior design ideas.

On the subject of the “Kult” breakfast collection he designed and which has been awarded many design prizes, Sebastian Bergne says: “My idea was to flatter the traditionally high quality and materials of WMF with clear and timeless design, subtly packaged. A joyful encounter in the morning at breakfast in fact.”
