Some games demand movement. Others demand focus.
Completing the trio, this outdoor pool table introduces a quieter form of competition to the garden – one that unfolds slowly, measured shot by measured shot.
Not everything has to be reinvented from scratch – likewise a question of measure.
This part of the family was finalised in collaboration with RS Barcelona, who had already solved the delicate technical challenge of bringing a pool table to the outdoors. In result and kind of true to the focus-based nature of the game itself, I concentrated on the architectural base and the overall colour concept, while RS B delivered the corpus with its playing surface and technical components. With adding the supporting teak base in the style of the other two members, the entire family is tied up in one language, bringing yet another object usually confined to interiors into a permanent presence outside.

Design isn't about how it looks
it's about how it makes us feel.
This mindset lies at the heart of everything I create. Especially when designing the spaces and objects that shape our most personal environment: our homes.*
I am Jan Homann and I design everyday objects, furniture, lighting and (interior) spaces – for either brands and companys or private clients.
Growing up in northern Germany, I studied industrial design at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts in Kiel. My diploma in 2008 was followed by four years as inhouse designer at Tobias Grau, one of international most renowned and innovative lighting brands. This was particularly characterised by the close work with Tobias and the opportunity to take care of my projects in the field of lighting, furniture, flagship store and exhibition design from the first sketch to the implementation in detail. In 2013 I founded my own studio for design.
Now over 17 years into this wonderful profession, collaborating with various companies and fellow creatives, as well as working closely with a wide range of trades – and more recently with my own hands – has shaped me into the designer I am today.
Beyond my passion for aesthetics and the experience gathered over these years, my work as a designer has always been driven by the desire to create pieces that are as well made as possible. My ever-growing love for nature only further motivates this aspiration to make things that last.*
I would be delighted to share this expertise with you – whether in developing the next, hopefully long-lasting addition to your brand’s portfolio or by accompanying you on the journey to your dream home. j.

What touches us, matters.
What matters, we want to keep.
What we want to keep, we take care of.
Purpose forms the foundation – emotional connection gives it the chance to last beyond trends. Sustainability has always been a core principle of design – creating emotional value is the most powerful way to support it.
