Isla Dining table Ø150
“My creativity and imaginative capacity in terms of design is based on the experience and observation of the world around me. I understand this as something personal, intuitive, that does not admit planning.”
Sebastian Herkner
The ISLA outdoor furniture collection is Sebastian Herkner’s first collaboration with GANDIABLASCO. Inspired by vacations spent with his family on the coast, its original design with soft, sinuous lines invites you to share moments outdoors in any type of space, from a large contract space to the intimacy of a private garden.
The dining table D150 is a single-legged outdoor table made of steel treated for outdoor with a top in iroko wood, a natural and elegant surface. This designer table can be customised in any of the exclusive colours of the ISLA collection, providing warmth and comfort not only in outdoor spaces but also in cozy interior spaces.
The ISLA dining table D150 is an original design by Sebastian Herkner for GANDIABLASCO.

About Sebastian Herkner
Sebastian Herkner (born 1981) studied Product Design at HfG Offenbach University of Art and Design. During his studies, he focused on designing objects and furniture, honing his keen sense for materials, colors and textures. For a short while he then worked for Stella McCartney in London.
In the year 2006 Sebastian Herkner founded his own studio. Since that time, he has designed furniture, lamps and smaller items for manufacturers such as Ames, and Tradition, Cappellini, ClassiCon, Dedon, Ex.t, Fontana Arte, Gubi, Linteloo, Moroso, Pulpo, Rosenthal, Schramm Werkstätten, Thonet, Wittmann and Zanotta. Herkner also realizes interior architecture projects and museum and exhibition design. His works have won numerous accolades – among others the IF Award, the Iconic Award and the Elle Deco International Design Award (EDIDA). As Guest of Honor to imm cologne 2016, Sebastian Herkner provided the design for “Das Haus”. Maison&Objet has elected him 2019 “Designer of the Year.”
An unconditional love for traditional craftsmanship paired with a good feel for new technologies, a true flair for color, authentic materials and textures, an unadulterated curiosity for different cultures, for embracing and integrating them, and a commitment to taking responsibility for the things and people one works with, not to mention consideration and respect for all of the details and steps necessary to create an extraordinary object...
Since the success of the Bell Table for ClassiCon in 2012, Sebastian Herkner has never looked back, while remaining true to his word – and himself. Balance and intuition are important and enduring factors in his work, which he sees as a continuous dialogue that straddles the disciplines: It takes him to the far corners of the world in search of almost forgotten crafts techniques, of manufactories that have a tradition going back centuries, to the crafts Sleeping Beauties that he can awaken from their slumber. In the process, he creates not just objects, but an entire cosmos that shines a new light on how objects can appeal to the senses, and where beauty is cultivated from within the process itself and his empathy towards people.
