Portrait of a furniture Designer

I just got back from a photoshoot in Althengstett in Germany, and have just finished retouching the selects.
The selection has really boiled down to two images, which isn’t all that many to be honest, but seeing as they’re visually quite strong I think they’ll work pretty well.

Rainer Killinger, the furniture designer in question who has around 30 years experience in the furniture industry decided to set up his own business 2001 under the name, ‘Wohnobjekte Rainer Killinger’.

Utilising the most modern of Design Trends, Rainer, aided by his wife Erika has continued to develop the product series, always combining their traditional values for his craft with the most cutting edge in materials and modern design. All their exclusive tables are hand crafted in their Althengstett studios in Germany.

The company holds itself to two very simple principals:

1:  Build the best tables in the industry, at the very highest quality.
2:  The product needs to be ready for the customer at the arranged time, no excuses.

Pretty simple I guess. Check out his website at http://www.wohnobjekte.de/

The photo setup was pretty simple with a beauty dish to the right of the subject and a directional light on the left for a bit of a kick on the  lower half of the chair.
My assistant for the day was Julius Ise.
