‘Moro’ is a cosy cocoon of a chair. Named after a famous Venetian Doge, the design evokes the strong personality of an Italian palazzo’s lush interior. A warm and welcoming atmosphere that could never be forgotten. The chair consists of a single rounded volume, like a shell designed to make the user feel safe wrapped in its comforting arms. ‘Moro’s shape is inspired by castanets — cheerful and sensuous finger clappers used as percussion instruments. The design is both low and ample, with stable feet blending into an enveloping back. It is entirely upholstered in any of a range of rich materials: faux sheep skin, leather, smooth velour, etc. Its uniquely distinctive design will make this chair a valued element in any interior.
Sebastian Herkner (born 1981) studied product design at HfG Offenbach University of Art and Design. During his studies he began to focus on the design of objects and furniture, honing his keen eye for materials, colors, and textures. For a short time, he then worked for Stella McCartney in London. In 2006, Sebastian Herkner founded his own studio. He has since designed furniture, lamps, and smaller items for many manufacturers. Maison & Objet elected him “designer of the year” in 2019.
La Manufacture is a brand where design and fashion collide. A brand where a certain je ne sais quoi of French allure meets the best Italian craftsmanship. A certain idea of French lifestyle (re) interpreted by world-renowned international designers. Each collection will highlight worldclass craftsmanship, timeless aesthetics and enduring quality.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
