Design Magic by Lane Crawford:
My favourite find of Milan was from graduate student Sebastian Herkner. His pieces had great form and I could really appreciate his use of materials such as maple wood, steel, copper and textiles. These were all prototypes and I sincerely hope that after the show he managed to find someone to produce his collection as I would certainly be an interested buyer.

Sarah Balmond from Monocle:
Up and coming German designer Sebastian Herkner lauched a thoughtful collection reinterpreting traditional craft techniques. His Albion chair, in maple and leather, looks like a future classic.

Salone 2009: Editors' Picks (by wallpaper.com)
We went, we saw, we conquered. The Salone del Mobile is undoubtedly one of the most manic weeks for us here at Wallpaper*, and 2009 was no exception. Predictions that this year's Milan Furniture Fair would be subdued with less novelties to see, were widely off the mark. Granted the blissful weather throughout the week may have helped proceedings, but visitors were spoilt with well-designed collections, thought-provoking new launches and exhibitions and events that were heaving with well-turned-out crowds.
Back home, we asked our editors to do the impossible: go through all they saw and come up with their absolute favourite top 3.
Hugo Macdonald from wallpaper*:
Most of the launches at Satellite had contemporary cool rather than antique charm. Against a backdrop of raw wood, perspex and white metal, Sebastian Herkner’s blown glass and brass Bell Table stood out from the crowd as a very grown-up, original product.

The company nanoo.ch produces my lamp nan16.
nanoo is a collection of furniture and lamps from Switzerland.
The idea behind the lamp nan16 is that the nearest source of electricity at any kind of table is the lamp at the ceiling over the table. nan16 seizes this idea and upgrades its conventional function with an additional feature.
A separate socket is attached to the lamp for any electric appliances with a bus bar.
The lamp series nan16 is suitable for various lighting atmospheres and situations of both living and working. It can stand for a lamp for the dining table to plug a toaster or raclette, as well as for your personal workplace to charge the notebook or mobile phone.
