Selon le designer Sebastian Herkner, une belle pièce de mobilier doit séduire avec son caractère accueillant tout en possédant le potentiel de nouer un lien à vie avec son propriétaire. Cette philosophie se retrouve dans la petite table Mate, éditée par Wendelbo.
Approche innovante d’une pièce familière, Mate est dotée d’un design accrocheur et de nouvelles dimensions esthétiques. C’est une petite table à la fois pratique et décorative composée d’une base conique et d’un plateau rond, connectés ensemble grâce à une fine colonne oblique. Avec sa silhouette dynamique, Mate prend un caractère presque humain. Penché vers le canapé, le fauteuil ou le lit, le guéridon Mate devient un compagnon du quotidien attachant.

Born in Germany in 1981, Sebastian Herkner studied Product Design at the University of Arts and Design in Offenbach, graduating in 2007. He founded his own eponymous studio in 2006, also in the same city, specialising in object and furniture design. Following an internship at Stella McCartney during his studies, he developed a real sensitivity to colours, materials and textures. "There is a sensibility and identity to my work that emphasises function, material and detail." Sebastian Herkner also works on interior architecture projects and museum exhibitions. His many collaborations testify to his talent, including ClassiCon with the famous Bell table, Moroso, Pulpo, Cappellini, Gubi, And Tradition, La Chance, Zanotta and Thonet. His curiosity for different cultures is reflected in his creations. He combines traditional craftsmanship with new technologies to achieve a certain balance. Winner of numerous awards, he has been named "Designer of the Year" by the Maison & Objet show in 2019.
