Peter-Philipp Schmitt first met Marva Griffin in Milan in 2002. It was his first Salone del Mobile and her fifth SaloneSatellite. He was impressed by the sheer number of young designers from all over the world who had the opportunity to show their work at this widely celebrated fair. Since then he has visited the SaloneSatellite every year, partly to seek out up-and-coming German designers, to write about them, such as, for example, Sebastian Herkner from Offenbach, whom Schmitt discovered in 2009 and who is now world renowned.
