It’s elegant and versatile, sturdy and poetic.
Christoph Seyferth eschews the belief that good design must come from big egos. His products are humane and functional, designed for everyday use. Seyferth’s diverse background spans fine arts, carpentry, architecture, and interior design, as well as furniture design. He has done everything from build his own house to design eyewear for Adidas. Seyferth’s work has a certain timeless quality, referencing the integrity of thoughtful craftsmanship and celebrating the essence of pure materials like wood, leather, and steel.
