Beyond the bath: OF.LINE collection unveiled by Sebastian Herkner

In bathroom design, innovation often meets tradition, but rarely with the finesse seen in Sebastian Herkner’s OF.LINE collection for Decor Walther. Based in Offenbach, Decor Walther is known for understated luxury, and this collection strengthens its reputation for high-end bathroom accessories. OF.LINE combines solid aluminium with handmade porcelain, creating products that are both functional and artistic.

What makes OF.LINE unique is its bold use of materials. Herkner blends solid aluminium and handmade porcelain, balancing industrial precision with artisanal quality. 'Porcelain is an honest material, and the glaze gives the design a handcrafted touch,' says Herkner. The aluminium serves as more than just a structural component; it becomes a sculptural element that plays with light and shadow, inspired by architecture like Chicago’s Marina City complex.

The collection includes essentials like soap dispensers, towel holders, and storage boxes, designed to elevate everyday experiences. Available in refined hues such as champagne, mocca, and aqua for the aluminium, and natural tones like dune, moor, and shell for the porcelain. OF.LINE invites users to mix and match pieces to create a personalized space.

This collaboration is special due to its local connection. Both Decor Walther and Herkner’s studio are based in Offenbach, fostering a close partnership that thrived even during the pandemic. Herkner, a proponent of sustainability and craftsmanship, focuses on creating timeless products. 'I design products that become companions over time,' he explains, a philosophy shared by Decor Walther.

For Herkner, true luxury lies in attention to detail and taking the time to perfect each piece. The OF.LINE collection balances aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. 'Design thrives on communication and physical exchange,' says Herkner, and this is evident in the thoughtful design of these universally applicable accessories.

Rooted in tradition, yet modern in design, the collection combines handmade porcelain with advanced aluminium shaping techniques. This fusion results in products that are visually stunning and reflect fine craftsmanship. It’s no longer just about the bath; it’s about transforming the everyday into something extraordinary.
