Product Description
Maple line of chairs and tables was designed by Gernot Oberfell and Jan Wertel. This design draws inspiration from nature and combines ergonomic forms for the human body with soft shapes for a natural material - wood. By offering different surface finishes and base versions, Maple appeals to a wide range of users and interior spaces.
Gernot Oberfell, born 1975, and Jan Wertel, 1976, met at the State Academy of Arts in Stuttgart, both studying the very Ulmer Schule influenced Product Design course. Sharing a strong interest in new technologies and processes, they soon discovered the possibilities of computer aided design and prototyping, resulting in moving more and more of the workshop based experiments in form and function to the screen, whilst staying true to the interdisciplinary spirit of the Bauhaus. Professional work experiences comprise the Fraunhofer Institute, Industrial, DesignSeven (all in Suttgart), Moehn&Baumann (Rotterdam) and Ross Lovegrove (London), and included projects for Bosch, Artemide, Yamagiwa, Moroso, Knoll, Vitra,… In late 2006 they established their own design practice, Platform, based in London, a stage for research and interdisciplinary thinking. Projects range from furniture and lighting to consumer electronics.
