OF.LINE

The new bathroom accessories of the OF.LINE collection by Sebastian Herkner are

characterised by an exciting mix of materials: a powerful combination of innovatively crafted

solid aluminium and handmade porcelain. The cool, graphic structure of the aluminium is

contrasted by warm porcelain tones. The new product line – an authentic homage to the city

of Offenbach – will be presented for the first time at the Salone Internazionale del Bagno 2024

in Milan, Italy.

People know each other in Offenbach, particularly when it comes to design. So it was only a

matter of time until Offenbach-based designer Sebastian Herkner got together with the

family business Decor Walther, headquartered just a few hundred metres from Herkner's

studio. At Salone Internazionale del Bagno in Milan in April 2024, the manufacturer will

present the new OF.LINE collection, whose name refers to its local origins. "I was quickly won

over by Decor Walther's company philosophy, their standards of design and quality, as well as

their understanding of luxury. The bottom line for both of us is aesthetics paired with

functionality and sustainability," explains Sebastian Herkner. "And since we both have roots

in Offenbach, we speak the same language. It just made sense for us to work together," adds

Henry Walther.

 The OF.LINE collection brings a new element to Decor Walther's diverse portfolio, covering

 classic bathroom accessories such as soap dispensers and bowls, towel holders and toilet

1

  brushes, as well as paper towel boxes, storage trays and storage boxes in various sizes, which

 are universally applicable in other areas.

The OF.LINE collection offers real value, going well beyond the typical uses of individual

components. The beauty and timeless aesthetics of the materials and the carefully selected

colour palette make the products real eye-catchers, whose high quality and durability can be

seen at first glance. "We selected particularly sensual and authentic materials, such as solid

aluminium, rather than tubular aluminium. Porcelain is a very honest material in terms of

production, and the glaze lends the design a handcrafted touch," explains Sebastian Herkner.

The charismatic structure of the aluminium elements, with architectural inspiration from

buildings like Marina City in Chicago, lends the collection a special feel, creating a subtle

interplay of light and shadow. The porcelain is reflected in the aluminium when light falls on

it, revealing a wider spectrum of colour. The aqua, champagne and mocha tones of the

aluminium elements combined with the nature-inspired nuances of shell, moss and reed in

the porcelain vessels are in tune with the times, making them a good fit for nearly any setting

and living area. All metal and porcelain surfaces can be flexibly mixed and matched.

 Aligned with Sebastian Herkner's concept, Decor Walther uses a wide variety of techniques in

 production. The aluminium components are manufactured with an innovative technology,

 while the porcelain elements are created using traditional artisanship in Bavaria. The

 components finally come together in Offenbach.
