korban/flaubert
Janos Korban and Stefanie Flaubert
Sydney, NSW

korban/flaubert is a design and production partnership between Janos Korban (b.1961), a metalwork specialist with a background in psychology and genetics, and architect Stefanie Flaubert (b.1965). They established korban/flaubert in 1993, focusing on collaborative investigations into materials, structure and spatial relationships. They now produce furniture, lighting, interiors and experimental works for clients in Europe, the United States, Asia and Australia.

In 2001 Korban and Flaubert set up their current studio/workshop/showroom in the industrial suburb of Alexandria. They describe the workshop as ‘a laboratory of form’, in which they playfully explore the cross-over between geometry and nature.

They describe their organic approach to design as a ‘process of discovery’. The function is not predetermined. Through experimenting with materials, volume and action an end product might emerge as a seat, a light or some sculptural fantasy. The application is found in the form itself, ‘the idea falls out of life, the form falls out of the idea’.
