Joa Herrenknecht is a young female designer based in Berlin. She just started her own studio after working for high profile names such as Dror Benshetrit or Patricia Urquiola. Until now she didn’t collaborate with big companies but her projects are visible all over the internet. Flow is the name of her latest collection shown at Salone Satellite 2014. Her poetic style will surely secure her a spot in bigger booths next year in Milan. Now I would like to talk about this series of small tables called Mars and Pluto. It is hommage for Shiro Kuramata, the late Japanese artist/designer that decided to “freeze” delicate objects inside acrylic panels. Joa is using fine metallic mesh, copper and silver, that is a bit crumpled. The tabletop rest on slender ash wood legs. Discover more works by Joa Herrenknecht here.
