Sebastian Herkner wanted to create glass in a new way, something solid and unique. He is fascinated by cast glass, compared with mouth blown glass elements, which have a specific wall thickness, Alwa tables have a tabletop made of 50 mm cast glass. The liquid glass is left in a special metal mold to solidify for several days. The air bubbles in the glass give each tabletop a unique character. The appearance mimics the aesthetic of water.
Sebastian Herkner established his own studio in 2006 and has since then been involved in freelance projects for various companies and institutes.
Alongside the design of exhibitions and trade fair presentations his focus is on designing everyday objects. He is influenced by his observations of people and their actions.
