Meet The Designer
Tristan Lohner
Tristan Lohner began his career in fine woodworking before studying at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. His approach starts with the needs of the user, an idea reflected in his lighting for Fermob, where portability, adaptability and intuitive use are central to the design.
Tristan Lohner: A New Approach to Portable Light
Tristan Lohner's foundation in fine woodworking continues to inform his approach to industrial design. He trained under Bernard Daude, a cabinetmaker for Pierre Paulin at Mobilier National, before studying at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. His work begins with the purpose a design needs to serve and the relationship between the design and its user.
This thinking has shaped his long-standing collaboration with Fermob and a significant body of portable lighting. Lohner considers how light can move and adapt to different settings, combining cordless use with accessories and supports that allow a lamp to be placed, suspended or repositioned according to need.
