Christian Werner

Christian Werner, born 1959 in West Berlin, is a German industrial designer. In addition to his spatial concepts, he has been specialised above all on creating and developing furniture over the last twenty-five years. His work is found in products by numerous prestigious European manufacturers, including Ligne Roset, De Sede, Duravit, Thonet and Leolux. Moreover, he has also completed a variety of interior design projects. 

He possesses a characteristically clear signature. Christian Werner's design vocabulary is reduced; he seeks tension in simple things, while eschewing short-lived trends. His creations always focus on the people he wants to reach, as he perceives design as an expression of emotion and sensuality through forms and materials.

He works for brands such as Rolf Benz, Ligne Roset, Garpa, Tobias Grau, and is also an interior designer for JAB Anstoetz, the Bielefelder Werkstätten, Carpet Concept and many more.
