Collection: Hertel & Klarhoefer

Peter Christian Hertel, born in 1968, and Sebastian Klarhoefer, born in 1966, have known each other since school days. They studied Architecture in Berlin and Venice and graduated in 1996 and 1994 at the Berlin Institute of Technology. They created their first furniture designs during their studies at the Instituto Universitario di Architettura in Venice with Aldo Rossi. In 1999, they founded their design agency hertel& klarhoefer. Since 2001, they have been working together as designers and architects in their own studio in Berlin. Their team includes product designers, interior designers, prototypists, and carpenters. In the following years, they have created furniture and accessories for famous brands such as authentics, ClassiCon, Flötotto, Ligne Roset, Nils Holger Moormann, and Zeitraum. They define themselves as creatives who work on a project starting with conceptual designs and ending with technical product development. From the beginning, they have been fascinated by the pulsating rhythm and creative potential of Berlin. This continues to influence their work to this day.
