Sebastian Bergne

Sebastian Bergne’s work is rooted in that of a classic industrial designer but always leavened by a profound sense of the way things are used and made in the real world and a whiff of both humour and humanity.

Crossing the worlds of design for mass manufacture and small-scale production, he has developed a recognisable, consistently elegant oeuvre, using everyday materials and the recognisable language of the utilitarian, made poetic.

His work has been widely recognised with international design awards, exhibitions and inclusion in private and museum collections such as The Museum of Modern Art and Cooper Hewitt (New York), the Design Museum (London) and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris). His wealth of experience makes him sought after as a designer, art director, speaker, educator and mentor to emerging design talent.
