Steps
Steps is an object for seating in public space.
We were asked by the Strasbourg city to design and build a bench on the topic of ‘Europe’ which should represent and refer to the Czech Republic. Located next to the European Parliament, the project is part of an initiative incorporating one designer from each of 28 EU countries.
The proposal refers to stairs as a symbol of connection, a physical link between two places, things, ideas or states of being. A functional element which has the ability to connect individuals of different backgrounds, put together coincidentally by a specific moment in time and space.
The Steps represent this idea in a small scale, enhancing the stairs from a place to pass each other to a place to meet someone. Developed as a white, partly see-through steel structure which is easy to use and maintain.

Ahoj!
Po téměř 10 letech jsme se rozhodli uzavřít etapu naší spolupráce studia Herrmann & Coufal. Bylo to krásné a výživné. Teď cítíme, že pro osobní seberozvoj je potřeba následovat vlastní cesty. Není však vyloučené, že se opět protnou.
Jsme přesto stále otevření veškeré zajímavé spolupráci. Pokud máte zájem, stačí se ozvat na info@herrmanncoufal.com. My už vymyslíme, co dál.
Děkujeme všem, kteří s námi za ty roky spolupracovali.

Hello!
After almost 10 years we have decided to finish the project we called Herrmann&Coufal. It's been beautiful and nourishing. Now we feel that for personal self-development we need to follow our own paths. However, it is not impossible that they will intersect again.
We are still open to all interesting collaborations. If you are also interested, just get in touch at info@herrmanncoufal.com. We'll figure out what to do next.
Thanks to everyone who has worked with us over the years.
