Sebastian Bergne

Sebastian Bergne is Visiting Lecturer for MA Product & Furniture Design at Kingston University, blending 30+ years of industrial design practice with academic instruction. His functionalist approach emphasizes material honesty and manufacturing innovation.

Designs reside in permanent collections at MoMA (NYC), Design Museum (London), and Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris). Research examines sustainable production models and value creation through object design.

Current projects address circular design principles through studio editions and collaborations. Bergne has held guest professorships at ECAL, Kunsthochschule Kassel, and Free University of Bolzano.
