As Sebastian Herkner says: ‘Design needs a human touch’. In his design ‘Gentle’—an armchair and a dining chair—, this touch is truly tangible, because of the manufacturing process. By hand, craftsmen model clay moulds for each element, into which aluminium is subsequently die-cast. Place your hand on the armrest and you will feel the traces of their sculpting work. You are shaking hands with the makers, across the boundaries of time and countries.
