Meet the designer
Meike Harde, a multidisciplinary designer based in Cologne, Germany, brings an innovative perspective to textile design through her studio. Known for her expertise in textile applications, she reimagines familiar materials with a fresh, visually light, and structurally intelligent approach. Harde's design philosophy blends experimental-constructive techniques with an allegorical and conceptual style, placing ordinary materials in unexpected contexts and reshaping conventional forms. Her portfolio, ranging from upholstery to lighting and furniture, exemplifies her attention to detail and her unique ability to fuse artistic and technical skills seamlessly. The Collar sofa, a signature piece, reflects her mastery of traditional tailoring techniques and clever seam placement, emphasizing the natural qualities of the fabric. With its soft, voluminous curves and asymmetrically arranged back cushions, Collar redefines the classic sofa, offering a contemporary aesthetic that is both inviting and sophisticated.
