Lukas Hechinger - founder
From an early age, he looked over his father’s shoulder at the family-owned carpenter’s workshop and acquired a vast knowledge about wood and its handling. As a student of mechanical engineering at the Karlsruhe University, he was able to use his father’s machinery, enabling him to start a small business of his own.
His idea was to design a board in a way such that, together with other identical boards, it could be assembled into a shelf without the use of screws, dowels or other extra parts. In the meantime the patent for this unique connection assembly is pending and it is obvious that the array of products will continue to grow in the near future.
As the Steckwerk CEO Lukas coordinates production, purchase, hr and sales of the products. His design of the Steckwerk furniture is awarded with many prestigious design awards in germany. Steckwerk shelving system was awarded with the Mekaward 2012 and the International Design Awards of Baden-Wuerttemberg 2013. Moreover it was nominated for the German Design Award 2014 and the design award of the Federal Republic of Germany.
