GOLDMUND
Goldmund is a floor light inspired by both a crane construction and a parasol. It combines very technical features with a warm materiality. All brass parts have been especially made by hand. The lampshade is hand-soldered and polished and creates beautiful reflections on your tabletop. Goldmund was especially made for the Carwan Gallery and the “Milan does Beirut” show.
MILAN DOES BEIRUT
Carwan Gallery from Beirut invited us to be part of their second edition of “MILAN DOES BEIRUT”. This time in Beirut, Lebanon.
Next to Lindsey Adelman, Paul Loebach, Philippe Malouin, Samare, Oeuffice and Kwangho Lee, we were showing our ARCHITECT’S TABLE, CHAIR #2 and GOLDMUND, a standing light we specially made for the Carwan Gallery.

SATELLIGHT
This is a total one-off, in the workshop of our metal spinner we found a very nice metal dome, which we wanted to use as a lamp shade. Unfortunately our powder coater decided to drill a hole in the shade for hanging it, so we decided to mount the shade vertically. voila, the new SATELLIGHT was born!
N1D4
For the Nachtdigital festival for electronic dance music in eastern Germany, we were asked to build a lighting sculpture together with Julien Simshäuser and Sebastian Wolf.
The Fist Of Light is an interactive light and sound installation made of a lot of fluorescent tubes, pvc connectors, hundreds of cables and electronics.

ARCHITECT’S TABLE FOR LAURA
For our friend and designer Laura Straßer we made a special edition of our ARCHITECT’S TABLE. It is made of birch plywood, completely covered with desktop linoleum. The Designer’s table offers 8 folded steel drawers, powder coated in a decent mint color, same as the frame.

OTTOMAN LIGHT
These pressure formed lampshades are inspired by old ottoman helmets. They are made by hand by Hugo Bräuer in Berlin and they come in brass and copper.
LINES
Lines is a set of minimalistic shelves made of folded steel. Either it has lines in it, then it is more for kitchen or bathroom use, or it is closed and a bit stronger, then it serves as a bookshelf. It was inspired by Dieter Rams 606 shelving system, though here you can start with a single element if you are not rich enough, plus you can put it in any order.
EASY COATRACK
Easy is a coatrack made of bent steel with two feet and two wheels that likes to be pushed around.
BUSY TABLE
A new version of the former 126,3 table will be presented at DMY Berlin. A base made of folded stainless steel carries a heavy piece of german oak.
COPPER JEWELRY
We are happy to announce a collaboration with Marie Burkhard and Sight Unseen.
For the occasion of this years Milan Design Week and ICFF we designed a series of four necklaces made of polished copper. The pieces are collages of designs by Marie Burkhard and 45 Kilo and can be purchased via Sight Unseen in the US or by us in Europe.

JACK IN THE BOX FOR BETTER BAUHAUS
For MY BAUHAUS IS BETTER THAN YOURS we reworked the shape of our Jack.

Jack in the box gives all your electric devices what they need most. Jack in the box is made of powder-coated steel in various RAL colours, beech wood and 15 sockets.

BREAD BOX #2
The all new bread box is out! Improvements have been made in the sliding mechanism and in the size, it just fits the bread better. We produce them in small series in varying colors, at the moment we have yellow light blue and white.
DESCENT LIGHT
BRT-Recycling Technologie commissioned us to design a chandelier for their new head office.
BRT is specialized in machines for sorting and recycling waste and they have great products like the ‘SCHLITZ-O-MAT’.
What they do by machines, we did for them with our hands and elaborated taste. Investing a few hours in a deep research in waste brought up beautiful pieces of plastic. They had been cleaned, drilled and sorted to end up in this chandelier.
The next version is a smaller one, comes in a rainbow color variety and fits very well in your living room!

JUICY PANIC STORE
Together with Metrofarm we were asked to design a shop interior of the new Juicy Panic store in Berlin mitte.
We bent a lot of hydraulic tubings and added folded steel for the exclusive gala store with the huge changing room in the back.
Go check it out, before it’s a gallery again!

ca. 1,6180340
We created a home for the best food Germany has to offer!
A minimalistic breadbox made of accurately folded sheet steel, which measurements follow the golden mean, ca. 1.6180340. The slideable top serves as a chopping board at the same time.
It‘s made of powdercoated steel and ash tree. Comes in RAL 9011, 9018, 6019
JACK IN THE BOX
Desktop working spaces include a lot of technology that is usually powered by cables. We wanted to create something around this because we like to work so much.
Taking a closer look at this may result in a passive or an active design. Either you don’t care about how it looks and you stay flexible to any changes because it’s chaotic anyway. Or you may get pedantic and put everything in channels to hide it all, but then you would not dare to change your configuration or to put your charger in a socket. Jack in the box is something in-between, it allows you to create a flexible, chaotic yet structured working area. As accessory there are these bulbs that you may plug.
It’s made of bent steel, teak,
cables and sockets.

BUCHENWALD-CHILDREN
For the centenary of 65 years liberation of KZ Buchenwald, our friends Schroeter und Berger asked us to design three boxes for an audio installation.
‘Children of Buchenwald / an audio installation at three locations’ will be installed and opened in line with the commemoration.

RIVE GAUCHE
Rive gauche is more quiet, tidy, conservative and settled than the rest of Paris. While taking a walk through the expensive galleries we found a wonderful 50’s sideboard, made of thin rods and a simple sheet of glass.
Then half a year later, Daniel’s father who is born in 1950, had his 60th birthday.
He is a doctor and has a lot of old furniture inherited from his father, most of it from the 50’s. Being raised in this ambience led to the idea of redesigning this parisienne sideboard for him.
We used just one single rod for each piece. It is bent in three dimensions to create a closed circuit and we did minimal routing to attach mountings for the top and the wall.
INTERIOR DESIGN MAGAZIN

BLICKFANG STUTTGART
Here we are in Stuggi-town, where people speak funny
and are open minded towards musical furniture.
People like how we did the cheapest stand design ever
(8,90 € for 1000 paperclips), somehow still confused by what we want to do with the Forte table. Hopefully some generous and wealthy man may come and buy our little cuty. Stephan started and bought the blue chair, helping us to get to Milan again.
