Jehs + Laub

Markus Jehs, born in Stuttgart in 1965, and Jürgen Laub, born in Ulm in 1964, met while studying industrial design at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Schwäbisch Gmünd and became friends after an internship in New York in 1990. They graduated in 1992 and founded jehs+laub in Stuttgart in 1994, starting with furniture and lamps for Italian companies such as Cassina, Ycami and Nemo.

The studio then widened its partnerships to brands including Fritz Hansen, Knoll International, Renz, Stelton, Davis, Schönbuch, COR and Wilkhahn, designing chairs, tables, sofas, storage and lighting. For Mercedes-Benz it developed the master concept of the worldwide showrooms along with numerous interior designs and exhibitions, among them the “suite 606” at the Icehotel in northern Sweden.
