Sebastian Herkner for Ex.t

“The bathroom is a place that needs to be lived in at its best. You need comfort, pleasurable furniture as well as handy spaces to place the products and the objects you want to bring with you! The main challenge for me is to keep it light but functional and finely detailed. I think that blurring the boundaries between the bathroom and other living spaces, as the bedroom for example, is a natural evolution in the future of the industry”
