German designers Markus Jehs (born 1965 in Stuttgart) and Jürgen Laub (born 1964 in Ulm) have shared a creative connection since sitting next to each other during entrance exams for art school. After completing several projects in New York, they began their joint venture in Italy, collaborating with renowned companies such as Cassina, Nemo, Ycami, and Acerbis. In Germany, they designed furniture for office and residential spaces for brands like Renz, Schönbuch, and Thonet, and also developed showroom concepts for Mercedes-Benz. Their Scandinavian design collaborations include a lounge chair collection for Fritz Hansen and a candleholder design for Stelton.
