Even with a detailed architectural model, we can never quite<\/em> visualize the final result. Highly ambitious could sum up Sebastian Herkner’s plan for the 2016 edition of “Das Haus—Interiors on Stage”<\/a>, revealed to a group of journalists in September of last year. Inspired by a friend in a wheelchair and the structure of yurts, Herkner’s take on the ideal home followed a complex, ring-based geometry—but the question was, would it work?<\/p>\n

Unveiled at IMM 2016, held this year from January 18-24, Herkner’s “Das Haus” is packed full of creature-comforts, and perhaps the most seductive of the pavilions showcased over the last few years on the 2,600-square-foot stage in the middle of Hall 2.2 (Pure Editions)—among them the 2015 edition by Neri & Hu<\/a>, <\/a><\/span>based on Shanghai’s lane houses, and the 2014 edition by Louise <\/a>Campbell<\/a>, <\/span><\/span>complete with an extra-large bed.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“Make sure to use your nose,” Herkner told Interior Design<\/em>, and a deep breath revealed the crisp and clean smell of soap in the bathroom, where the designer used soap tiles. Meanwhile, a ring-based system of transparent and moveable curtains “inspired by architecture,” the designer notes, evoked sense of touch, and a bar offering herbal- and fruit-infused water enticed the taste buds. “Design is also about touching senses,” he says.<\/p>\n

Furnishings included 19 new products by the prolific Herkner, among them the Bell light for Classicon<\/a>, Mbrace, a rocker for Dedon<\/a>, and the Slot wardrobe system for Schönbuch<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The designer also paid tribute to favorite designers including Patricia Urquiola with her Cuna tub for Agape<\/a> http:\/\/www.agape.it<\/a> <\/span>and Jamie Hayon, with his Formakami lantern for &Tradition<\/a>. While the rings and a rectangle of etched glass zoned living areas, the inner courtyard was left open and filled with vibrant green plants. Herkner concludes, “It’s not a museum, it’s really a place to stay.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
