At Home with Saskia Diez
What do a triangular bed, stacks of books, and a string of lights reminiscent of a beer garden have in common? They’re all part of Saskia Diez’s world. We visit the jewellery designer in her period Munich apartment – a warm, airy home with a distinctive eye for form and shape.

Room for Everyone

Plenty of light, warm wooden floors, and spacious rooms: Saskia loves the open, airy feeling of her apartment. And she’s happy to share it with friends and family. That’s why a large sofa like LENNON is a must-have.

Material Matters

Stone, metal, leather – Saskia surrounds herself with materials that don’t just look beautiful. What matters to her is also how they feel and how they evolve over time. It’s a philosophy that fits naturally with her work as a jewellery designer. And then there are the books: “It’s like having 1000 little stories around you that you can always return to.”

Space to Breathe

Saskia’s work requires a keen eye: delicate proportions and complete concentration. That’s why she values a clear separation between work and leisure – and the sense of spaciousness she feels at home. She also likes to start her day with some movement. A little bit of yoga helps her take a moment to reconnect with herself.

From Sketch to Shape

A sketchbook is almost always within reach. But many ideas quickly move from paper into three-dimensional pieces: she creates initial forms using wire, scissors, paper, and pliers and tries them on her own body. How do the proportions look? How does the shape feel?

Circle. Rectangle. Square. Triangle. Saskia loves the clarity of basic geometric shapes.

Meet Me at the Table

A place to sit together, eat, talk, and linger. Saskia loves the relaxed, sociable atmosphere of a Munich beer garden and brings a little bit of that feeling to her own dining table.

Nothing to Hide

The kitchen: pots and pans hang from a large arch, leaving little room to hide. But not everything needs to be classic or perfectly practical – the important thing is that the space reflects the life lived in it.

“I think when you can tell that things are actually lived with, it brings a home to life.”

A Little Colour, Please

Cooking as Meditation

A Bed Like a Boat

The most unusual design piece in the apartment? The bed. The frame, mattress, duvet, and pillows all follow a triangular shape, with the point facing directly toward the window. Lying there and following this line with your gaze toward the outside, you almost feel as though you’re on a boat – with the pointed end of the bed serving as the bow.

Form Follows Feeling.
