Henner Jahns // Gecco Vision: Product Design
German industrial designer and former head of custom furniture design firm dTank, Henner Jahns specializes in creating flagship products that tell compelling stories. Jahns, along with partner James Benton, heads the Arts District-based Gecco Vision. The firm’s main focus and strength is designing ergonomic and fitness products, which follow a philosophy they call “living in motion.” Their Swopper®, a stool that mimics the soft bounce of physio balls, is one of the hottest products in the market. There is even a kids version, called the Swoppster®.
Designed with their belief that bodies essentially need movement, their products encourage activity and actually benefit the user. Jahns’ designs have included everything from a Schick razor to a music kiosk to said ergonomic office chair ($600 retail). His artful high-end office furniture design has been displayed at MOMA NY and won numerous international awards for design excellence, including the prestigious Calibre Award in Los Angeles.
