The German designers Markus Jehs and Jürgen Laub (born 1965 in Stuttgart and 1964 in Ulm respectively) already sat next to each other when they took their entry exam for the university of art. After several projects in New York, they began their partnership in Italy with re-known companies in Cassina, Nemo, Ycami and Acerbis. In Germany, they worked on office furniture and living furniture for Renz, Schönbuch and Thonet as well as on the worldwide showroom- concept for Mercedes-Benz. Besides the BOX-IT butter and bread box and BLOCK-IT knife block for RIG-TIG, Jehs+Laub have designed the wall clock Time for Stelton.
