Una breve historia

Durante más de 50 años, Heller ha ofrecido a los principales diseñadores la oportunidad de trabajar con nuevas tecnologías para crear productos innovadores. Heller continúa explorando nuevos procesos para la fabricación de muebles.

Incorporado en 1971, el primer producto de Heller fue una línea de vajilla apilable diseñada por Massimo Vignelli. Ganador de un premio Compasso d'Oro en Italia, está incluido en la colección permanente de diseño del Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York.

Diseñadores

La división de muebles de Heller se lanzó en 1998. La primera silla, The Bellini Chair diseñada por Mario Bellini, ganó el Compasso d'Oro en 2001. Desde entonces, Heller ha trabajado con otros diseñadores célebres: Massimo & Lella Vignelli, Philippe Starck, Mario Bellini , Vico Magistretti, William Sawaya, Frank Gehry y Studio 65.

¿Qué es moderno?

Lo moderno es para siempre. Puede ser de 1750, 1950 o 2050 porque lo que hace que algo sea moderno es más el por qué y el cómo, y menos el cuándo.

Lo moderno trasciende el tiempo. Es relevante en cualquier entorno. Se ve igual de cómodo en un antiguo granero que en un nuevo rascacielos. Funciona tanto en Beijing como en Louisville. Con Heller, también se puede disfrutar tanto en el interior como en el exterior.

Lo moderno es estéticamente agradable, altamente funcional y está diseñado sin egoísmo, y todos los productos de Heller cumplen con estos criterios. Heller es para siempre, pero si desea deshacerse de él antes de esa fecha, lo reciclaremos en la próxima generación de modernos.

Why Heller

Sustainability

Heller believes that it is all of our duties to do what we can to save the planet. In this spirit we have attempted to create a closed circle recycling program to execute our portion of the mission and effectively and authentically as possible.

The more we have researched “recycled” materials , the more we became distrustful of the benefit to our planet. Just because people recycled, doesn’t mean they didn’t cause harm to the planet during the process. Chemically enhanced recycling causes us concerns. The process is murky and relatively unchecked.

We want to make a full circle program that not only breeds longevity but active reuse.

Most recyclable product don’t even get recycled. Even people who make the effort only get 10 to 15% of their waste recycled. The system is broken, or basically has never worked.

We can change that. Heller will take our product back for the lifecycle of the product. We will then grind it back into a powder, not using any chemical enhancement and make fresh product using every last spec.

The Heller sustainability program is the first of its kind and will eliminate any mysteries in the chain.

Thank you for taking part and believing that working towards sustainability isn’t an option, it’s our responsibility.

Product Authentication

At Heller, we’re leading the fight against counterfeits in design with blockchain-based, NFT-backed Certificates of Authenticity.

What is the blockchain?

The blockchain is a digital system of record on the Internet that independently verifies information (blocks) across a “chain” of individual computers. By claiming your product, you will validate that you’ve purchased an original piece of authentic design. This enables your product to hold its value in re-sale, gives you access to manufacturers’ sustainability programs and, most importantly, signifies your investment in original design intellectual property.

As the holder of the NFT-backed Certificate of Authenticity, you are eligible for Heller’s take-back and sustainability program. This means that your product will never end up in a landfill. Whenever you decide to part with it, you can ship it back to Heller and we will repurpose the material back into our production process to create new Heller products. The cost of shipping the product back to us can then be used as a credit toward your next Heller purchase.
