Topic
Make functions clearly recognizable
When it comes to design, Stephan Jecker is a self-taught minimalist. That's why there is nothing in his home that merely serves a decorative purpose. The Swiss designer believes that the function of an object should be clearly recognizable, which is why the SIMPLON bed, which he designed for MAGAZIN, does not require any tools - you simply put it together. The beautifully shaped construction with its architectural appearance can be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily. The two supporting structures and the bundled slats can be stowed away to save space, meaning that SIMPLON is also quickly available as a bed for additional requirements.
Simplon bed
Beautiful bridge construction: The SIMPLON bed consists of two sturdy steel beams with birch plywood slats inserted into the serrated upper end, which are suitable for supporting different mattresses.
Which factor is most underestimated when designing a product?
Especially for me as a Swiss citizen: the curse of low costs! This is often at odds with the issue of sustainability. Many good ideas and approaches are discarded because we know they will be too expensive: in terms of materials and production.
How do you think about sustainability?
For us today, the question is: where do we want to go as a society? This includes questioning things more closely: Is this really necessary? And if so, under what conditions is it produced and where? Which material do we choose? One key to sustainability could be to try to become more conscientious and mindful in our dealings with people, but also with objects.
What is special about the collaboration with MAGAZIN?
We share a love of form and function, material and color. And we have similar ideas about the value of products. The fact that I, as a self-taught designer, get the chance to place myself at MAGAZIN also shows that the product is the main focus here.
What kind of products do you regularly use yourself?
A toothbrush, a glass of water, a pencil, a paper clip. Just things that really have a use in everyday life. I don't put things in my home that only serve decorative purposes. I like the minimalist look. With the SIMPLON bed, I also wanted it to be very clear that you have to put it together - without tools - like building blocks that fit together.
