The designer duo Jehs + Laub designs intercultural sofas, cosy crustaceans or graphic conference chairs. Their method is to combine a feel for nature with purposeful design and a decisive infusion of nonchalance, thereby creating products that are essentially timeless. Markus Jehs (b.1965) and Jürgen Laub (b.1964) got to know each other while studying industrial design at Schwäbisch Gmünd University. After completing their diploma, they opened their own office in Stuttgart in 1994. They design for the who’s who of the industry: Brunner, Cassina, Cor, Fritz Hansen, Herman Miller, Nemo, Stelton, Thonet or Wilkhahn.
