"Our S7 collection combines the contemporary design of Berlin, the international creative metropolis, with the care and tradition of small artisan businesses and manufacturers from across Germany." (Jörg Adam & Dominik Harborth)
Since the late 1990s, product designers Jörg Adam and Dominik Harborth have been working together in their offices in Berlin-Mitte. Their designs for international clients range from sophisticated accessories, complex brand identities, and large-scale exhibitions to diamond jewelry collections. They launched their own design label, SIEBENSACHEN, in 2003 with a color matching game. Today, Colourcouple is a classic, and the Berlin-based design label's music boxes are a must-have not only in New York. They are known worldwide for their high-quality accessories and games. S7 products are joint designs by Jörg Adam and Dominik Harborth. Since 2021, they have also been designing independently for their joint brand.
