# Collaborative Site-Specific Installations Hering Berlin Introduced EQUINOX I at Salone Del Mobile By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-05-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salone-del-mobile References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/DXrnbf_ChRB/)  During the 64th edition of Salone del Mobile in Milan, Hering Berlin presented EQUINOX I, a site-specific installation created in close collaboration between Austrian artist Hans Weigand and German ceramic artist Stefanie Hering. The project unites image, object, and space through Weigand's woodcut-based pictorial structure that appears across multiple forms. This design sensibility was present throughout EQUINOX I — from serving as an image-bearing surface "on a table in a limited edition of five pieces" to being a "motif on bisque porcelain plates by Hering Berlin in cobalt blue." At its core, EQUINOX I positioned collectible design not as a function of rarity alone but as a cultural reflection driven by narrative depth, material precision, and clear authorship, with only five tables, twenty-four sets of six different plate motifs, and a small number of porcelain light objects available.
