hesa.design is built on the passion and creative vision of design engineer Theresa Föhrenbacher. Shaped by the vibrant and contradictory style capitals of Berlin and Paris and deeply influenced by her six months spent in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Theresa has created a personal atlas of craftsmanship and design knowledge, striking a perfect balance between supreme design, quality standards, and fair conditions for both producers and her end customers.
Each piece from hesa.design is a limited edition, embodying Theresa’s respect for limited, raw materials and her love for artisanal craftsmanship. Every component of a hesa.design product undergoes precise handcrafting and rigorous quality control, with Theresa personally adding the final touch in her Düsseldorf atelier to ensure each piece meets her high standards.
hesa.design pieces are timeless and durable products that become lifelong companions. Offering quality through individuality, hesa.design produces select models of its collection exclusively upon request, ensuring each piece receives unparalleled customer care and service. Made in Germany, Theresa’s commitment to responsible manufacturing and fair working conditions shines through every handcrafted piece from her own design studio.
Using only the highest quality, vegetable-tanned leathers from Germany and Belgium and cactus leather from Mexico, hesa.design champions environmentally conscious practices. Embracing a zero-waste philosophy, hesa.design minimises offcuts and creatively reuses every piece of leather, valuing this natural resource with the utmost respect and consideration.
