Refined Aesthetics
Exploring Peter Fehrentz's Design Philosophy
Design captivates through its power to break conventions, challenge norms, and introduce something refreshingly original. Peter Fehrentz's furniture and lighting exemplify this philosophy—his work is driven by a deep interest in how objects shape spatial experience. This perspective has naturally positioned him as a sought-after stylist and photographer of his own creations. Throughout his practice, traditional boundaries dissolve, and seemingly opposing qualities merge with aesthetic refinement. His furniture designs span the full spectrum: from bold to elegant, from weighty to weightless, from opulent to restrained. The armchairs and chairs created for more showcase this mastery—contrasting elements brought into harmonious dialogue. Each piece speaks with a distinctive design language, whether as part of a carefully curated collection or as a compelling standalone statement.
The armchair's generously proportioned seat welcomes you to sit and linger. Its expansive backrest floats effortlessly behind you, offering support while preserving freedom of movement—much like the welcoming embrace of a close friend. Deceptively simple in its design, the chair achieves impressive comfort through minimal elements. The backrest and armrests form a single, meticulously upholstered unit. Its slender tubular steel frame, with its distinctive curves, echoes the iconic vocabulary of Bauhaus design from the 1930s. Available in fabric or leather, the upholstered pieces are crafted entirely from natural, sustainably sourced materials through responsible production practices.
