Their method is to combine a feel for nature with purposeful design and a decisive infusion of nonchalance, thereby creating products that are essentially timeless. Markus Jehs (*1965) and Jürgen Laub (*1964) got to know each other while studying industrial design at Schwäbisch Gmünd University. After completing their diploma, they opened their own office in Stuttgart in 1994.
