In a wide-ranging conversation, Sebastian discussed his design process and inspirations; his deep interest in traditional craft techniques and materials, and how he interprets characteristics from various contexts of society and culture and implements them in new artifacts.

One of Europe's most in-demand industrial designers and the recent winner of Elle Decoration International Design Awards’ Designer of the Year accolade, Sebastian founded his own studio in 2006 and has designed furniture, lamps and smaller items for leading manufacturers across the world as well as realising interior architecture projects and museum and exhibition design.
