The works of the designer Werner Aisslinger cover the spectrum of experimental and artistic approaches, including industrial design and architecture. He delights in making use of the latest technologies and has helped introduce new materials and techniques to the world of product design like in his unique gel furniture. The "Juli chair" was the first item of furniture to use a new type of foam called "polyurethane integral foam" and became the first German chair to be selected as a permanent exhibit at the MoMA in New York since 1964. In the process he has created striking designs and received awards from all over the world — from Milan's Compasso d'Oro to the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Red Dot Award or FX Award in the UK.
His work is exhibited in the permanent collections of international museums such as the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum, New York; the French Fonds National d'Art Contemporain, Paris; Neue Sammlung, Munich, and the Vitra Design Museum, Weil in Germany.
