PASCAL HIEN
From Global Collaborations to Iconic Creations
Pascal Hien has forged impactful collaborations with revered names in design including Ichendorf , Tecta, Benchmark, Le Klint, Steelcase, Van Treeck, Sar, Roehrs & Boetsch, Airbnb, Gur, and Pamono.

Categorized under Bottles and Jugs , it’s a brilliant example of how simplicity can be deeply expressive.
Design Philosophy and Studio Practice
In 2023, Pascal founded Pascal Hien Office for Design, a Berlin and Italy-based studio committed to sustainable design and nomadic product solutions. Guided by a holistic, responsible approach, the studio’s work explores the intersections of behavior, production, and longevity. Whether developing modular furniture like the Prism stool for Tecta or crafting the Migo chair for Benchmark, now part of the London Design Museum’s permanent collection, each project reflects Pascal’s signature style: intelligent, elegant, and grounded in function.
Recognition and Forward-Thinking Design
International design media have frequently recognized Hien’s talent: he was named one of Wallpaper*’s top graduates in 2016 and profiled by STIR as a "designer to watch" at the 2022 Salone del Mobile. With his conceptual yet approachable work, he bridges the gap between avant-garde experimentation and real-life usability. His recent limited edition pieces created for Essentia Home highlight his finesse in luxury design, while upcoming projects in lighting and seating promise to deepen his legacy of intuitive, aesthetic utility.
Timeless Vision, Global Appeal
Pascal Hien’s journey, marked by awards, museum features, and collaborations with icons of the design world, cements his role as a vanguard of modern industrial and exhibition design. As interest grows around the Ichendorf Alambicco collection and his modular seating innovations, his work continues to shape conversations around minimalist nomadic furniture and conceptual design that balances vision with usability, a perfect style for Ichendorf tableware and Ichendorf tumblers and glasses. Whether it’s a glass jug or a future-forward lighting fixture, Pascal’s pieces embody lasting impact through quiet innovation.
