Janina Heiliger: Yoko
Stefan HeiligerDesign, Germany
Stefan Heiliger has been thinking about sitting for more than 30 years now – and for him the focus is not only on functionality and ergonomics, but also on healthy pragmatism. In his studio in Frankfurt am Main, he works together with his daughter Janina Heiliger for well- known manufacturers such as de Sede, Roche Bobois, Leolux, Tonon and Koinor. No furniture primarily for museums or galleries, but for serial production and those who should make themselves comfortable on it. The flowing, curved shapes turn their seating furniture into sculptures designed to provide pleasure and relaxation to those who sit on them. „Reflecting about the act of sitting and its very requirements is what HeiligerDesign placed into the heart of their creative minds. The workpieces embody a maximum of calculated comfort; utmost ease and cosiness, with a clear pragmatic eye on cost.
