DEDON | CONTRACT

EDWARD BARBER & JAY OSGERBY Since founding their London studio in 1996, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby have pro- duced a diverse body of work that spans in- dustrial design, furniture, lighting, site-specific installations and public commissions, including the London 2012 Olympic Torch and furniture for the Portsmouth Cathedral. With TIBBO, their debut project for DEDON, they take the brand into new territory with a teak collection.

SEBASTIAN HERKNER One of Europe’s most talked-about young de- sign talents, Sebastian Herkner of Germany was already designing work that merged vari- ous cultural contexts, combining new technolo- gies with traditional craftsmanship to highlight the multifaceted beauty of the materials and draw renewed attention to small detail, when he was still a student. With his MBRACE, Sebastian is the first designer to mix teak and fiber in a single piece. Despite his young age, he is the recipient of a long list of design awards.

Richard is known for his mastery of a range of styles, from classic to contemporary.
