We are happy to be back in person and invite you to come and see us at our booth to explore our latest designs.
SHIFTING DUNES are the frame and inspiration of what we created and introduce this year.
Back in Milan, see you soon!
It's more than three years ago since we met you at our previous exhibition at the Salone Satellite. Now we're getting ready for another run and inviting you to take a closer look.
Thank you for joining us at the Salone Satellite 2019
Our booth at the Salone Satellite
As you know, the Milan Design Week is the place to discover new trends, upcoming colors, materials and of course new talents. After six exciting days the Milan Design Week has come to an end.
This year we introduced ANDY to you. A chair that plays with the way of how cane was used in the past and how to challenge this tradition today. By the way: Thanks to Elle Decor and dezeen!
Next to ANDY the new colors of MODULO caught a lot of attention and contributed in a great way to our booth design.
Exhibiting at the Salone Satellite is an event to not only talk about our design approach but to experience it. That’s why SOMA, RETURN and LUNAR have been part of the show, too.
Thank you for your visit. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
We hope to see you next time!

ANDY at Salone Satellite 2019
We are happy to present our new prototype to you! After many months of work, we finally can introduce our ANDY Chair to the public. Today is the perfect day for this occasion as the Salone del Mobile opens its doors.
ANDY
We started working on ANDY from summer 2018. The aim was a design that leaves the traditional appearance of Viennese cane behind and impresses with its functional potential.
Concept
Proud and sincere, ANDY presents his curved backrest. In a cheeky way, he puts the traditional Viennese cane to the test.
The woven cane becomes the focus of the design. Determined in place of the frame the mesh defines the shape of the chair. The wood elements are brought to a formal minimum so that the three-dimensionally stretched cane can develop its ergonomic potential.
The combination of the flat-covered seat and the round shaped back presents itself as a mutual reference of tradition and modern presence.
Salone Satellite starts today
We are in Milan, our booth is ready and we can´t wait to for you to come around to see ANDY in person.
If you consider a planned meeting, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

BASCHNJA Lamps by Ilja Huber
Ilja Huber at Imm Cologne 2019
Congratulations to our fellow friend Ilja for winning the IMM Pure Talents Award 2019 in Cologne.
His three-part light fixture “Baschnja” can be split into individual light sources and positioned freely in the room so that users can create precisely the lighting atmosphere that they want. Each light source can be operated independently.

More than an evolution - The SOMA Chair in leather
Since we started this project, we always had the vision of developing a beautiful leather cover for the SOMA Chair
It´s a personal thing
Most of you probably know us because of our SOMA Chair. This chair already opened many opportunities for us. Actually - without it you might have never visited this blog post.
Over time we developed tiny little details on the Kvadrat textile cover always aiming for further perfection. The result of this work was the exhibition in Milan and Cologne as part of the "ein&zwanzig" competition as well as winning the Red Dot Award 2017.
But now it is time to take SOMA to the next level. Thanks to Brockmann & Bernsee we were able to make a dream come true...
SOMA Chair in leather
We are proud to finally present our SOMA Chair in leather. Together with Jens Brockmann, a saddler master from Bordesholm in Germany, we worked hard to develop a single layer leather seating that is comfortable on the one hand and respects the traditional craftsmanship of saddle making on the other.
This also includes the decision for the right cow hide. The core leather we used is a smooth 4mm strong piece. We took care to focus on a single and symmetrical piece featuring the great aspects of the material.

Meet MODULO
Finally, its time to present you the Sideboard Prototype MODULO
Yes, this is clearly a sideboard - equipped with sliding doors, drawers and a hinged door. But still this is just an example of what MODULO could be.
MODULO
Hidden within the frame structure lays the possibility for customization. With MODULO Florestan took the individual needs for storage solutions as a base to create his concept. Thereby he focused on three requirements for his design:
Storing things is purely individual - so should be the elements of a storage system.
Individuality needs to be highlighted - a contour will put the elements into focus.
Keeping things consistent - different elements become a single object in the end.
Enjoy a short video introduction of MODULO
MODULO - Sideboard
The sideboard can be determined in width, equipped with drawers, compartments, sliding and hinged doors while the elements are colored in an individual color scheme.

Introducing the YUMA Table
YUMA is one of our new designs - and by far the biggest
The YUMA Table
It´s time to meet our new YUMA Table! This is a very special piece to our portfolio. More than usual this design is driven by a strong conceptual approach.
YUMA´s design is dealing with the question: What makes a table?
Every element of YUMA contributes to the answer.. This way YUMA becomes a table "prototype" which explains in a unique way what a table can be.
About YUMA:
YUMA tells us that the surrounding space is part of the conceptual understanding of a table. In a playful manner, YUMA invites us for having a conversation.
By sitting at the table the user enters into the table’s space. The user’s lower body dissolves symbolically in the decreasing transparency of the engraved glass.
Enjoy our small video introduction of YUMA
Prototype:
The transformation of the concept into the final prototype was an interesting and exciting challenge. The lower structure of the table is made of triangle steel tubes which are very hard to get - but fit the design perfectly.
The huge laser engraved glass tabletop was a project for itself. Creating a smooth transparency-falloff took me all the way to the research and development department of a leading German laser machine developer.

This is RETURN
After several months of work finally some of our prototypes are ready! RETURN is the first one for you to take a closer look at.
ABOUT RETURN
RETURN is inspired by the appearance of a space capsule gently falling towards its destination. While being stabilized by its parachute, RETURN swings slightly through the air.
The body represents a formal counterbalance to the light cone. A touch switches on the light. After being touched the lamp slowly returns into its initial orientation.
The base is made from brass and contains a high efficiency LED. The reflector catches the light while the carbon fiber structure absorbs every motion of the lamp.
Designer: Janis Fromm
