Petal Wall Light by Rakumba
Designed by Sebastian Herkner
Petal draws inspiration from the texture and form of flowers.
The use of generously thick glass, combined with a hand-illustrated natural texture, adds intrigue to the way the glowing light source refracts a tactile and visually arresting homage to the botanical beauty of a single petal.
This unique form is presented as a pendant and table lamp in two scales.
Finish:
Glass – champagne, brass or colourless
Metal – golden or black anodised
Dimensions:
180mmW x 235mmH
220mmW x 280mmH

About the designer
Sebastian Herkner
Sebastian Herkner was born in 1981 in Bad Mergentheim. He studied product design at the HfG Offenbach am Main (Offenbach University of Art and Design), already focusing during his studies on designing objects and furniture merging various cultural contexts, combining new technologies with traditional craftsmanship in order to highlight the multifaceted beauty of the materials and draw renewed attention to small details.
Whilst still a student, Herkner did an internship with Stella McCartney in London, which helped to hone his feeling for materials, colours, structures and textures. Since founding his own design studio in Offenbach am Main in 2006, he has designed products for manufacturers such as Cappellini, ClassiCon, Dedon, Fontana Arte, Moroso, Pulpo, Thonet and Wittmann, as well as working on interior design projects and for exhibitions and museums.
Between 2007 and 2012 he has taught several courses at HfG Offenbach am Main as visiting lecturer. His designs have received multiple prizes, for example the 2011 German Design Award in the Newcomer category, 2015 the EDIDA Award for Best International Newcomer and Guest of Honor at imm cologne 2016.
