Presented for the first time at Imm Cologne 2015, this super-practical collection of furniture and hooks (shown above) is the latest offering by the German designer Florian Saul. The range includes the ‘Pe’ coatrack, ‘Span’ wall hook, an ‘Yot’ side table. The ‘Pe’ coatrack is suspended from the ceiling by leather belts and comes with a built-in hook for umbrellas and other items. The ‘Span’ wall hook is wall-mounted and big enough to hold a scarf, a coat, and a bag. Outfitted with a display for watches and jewellery, the ‘Yot’ side table has a slender yet strong Corian tabletop and a branched legs. All of the designs are handcrafted and made with solid oak.

Florian Saul’s Berlin based studio was founded in 2011 and works in various fields of design ranging from furniture and interiors to industrial design. Saul works predominantly with sustainable materials and combines craftsmanship with new technologies.

This young German designer originally began investigating the traditional technique of bent wood, which is quite rare to see for an independent maker, as it can be a tedious process with a lot of experimentation needed. This lead Saul to constructing his own steam chamber in his workshop, feeding hot air through his mother’s canning pot, until he could produce strong oak slats bent to achieve the desired radius. Talk about major commitment. Both a trained carpenter and designer, Florian’s passions have merged to create the most fantastic portfolio of furniture. We are tipping this young man as being one to watch!
