Pulpo Como Shelves
COMO SHELVES
COMO SHELVES
Designed by Sebastian Herkner
Sebastian Herkner’s work of full aluminum seems to hover over the ground.
Invisibly attached to the wall, every fixation of the variably installable ensemble is invisible.
All three of the optional colors render its physical appearance in a plain, clean spatial sculpture.
DESIGNER
SEBASTIAN HERKNER
Poetic compositions, refined shapes and delicate surfaces mark his designs: Sebastian Herkner who founded his Offenbach am Main based studio in 2006, creates furniture, lighting and textiles, as well as spaces and installations – often combining contemporary techniques with traditional craftsmanship.
Without leaving out the importance of material and sensory beauty, the multifaceted designer follows a strong conceptional approach: “I transport and interpret characteristics from various contexts of society and culture, and implement them in new artefacts”, says Sebastian Herkner.
Repeatedly awarded, the design teaches at the university, collaborates with fairs as well as museums, and works for some of the most prestigious design manufacturers of our time. pulpo got to know the creative mind during various international design shows, as he was still a student.
Today, the designer and the house of design are bound by a close and friendly relationship, allowing a dynamic exchange when playing creative ping-pong over ideas or figuring out the ideal design language for pulpo.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Regular cleaning and maintenance is important in order to keep your pulpo product looking its best and to prolong its life. Always remove any kind of dirt as soon as possible. We recommend that you first test a small, invisible area to ensure that no colour change or damage arises to the product. Do not use materials for maintenance that contain abrasive agents or are basic, acid or organic.
ALUMINIUM CLEANING
These finishes are relatively fine and should therefore be lightly cleaned with the utmost care, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents. Vigorous rubbing should be avoided. Mild soap with water and a soft brush (like nylon bristles that are very soft, or natural brushes with soft texture) or a clean lint free soft cloth to clean. A freshwater rinse is recommended method of washing the aluminium furniture, and drying with a towel (as necessary.) Regular wiping with a soft cloth will reduce the necessity for more stringent and possibly harmful action, if dirt and grease deposits are allowed to collect on the surface.
PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
The como is a masterwork of traditional craftsmanship. Each shelf is handmade and has characteristic features such as irregularities in metal thickness and colour variations.
