Bergne is well known for his ability to make everyday objects special with his extremely personal approach to all of his designs.

Bergne has collaborated with a multitude of brands, these collaborations include Luceplan, Muji, Swarovski and Tefal.

"Essentially my approach to design is lead by function, manufacturing, material and emotion. That may sound like a contradiction but in my view, a well-designed functional object also has an opportunity to communicate with less tangible associations, humour and some kind of meaning. I consider this opportunity the real joy of design." - Sebastian Bergne
