Herbert Krenchel (designer)

"I am excited about shapes and structures. The surface on a design object is important because it makes people want to reach out for it. I also believe that there has to be a balance between function and aesthetics. A good design must therefore contain more than one aspect to make the perfect overall impression. My inspiration comes from several things surrounding me - it can’t be explained. For me design is a way to express yourself – it’s a way to create things just the way you want it." says Herbert Krenchel
