The grandmaster of armchairs: An Eames lounge chair is the most comfortable thing the 20th century had to offer. Charles & Ray Eames first introduced the „Lounge Chair + Ottoman“ in 1956 as a more modern and even more comfortable variant of the well-known, but old-fashioned, deep-buttoned english clubchairs. For years, the couple had researched the possibilities and benefits of …

what comes to your mind when asked about italian design? many people might first think of „elegance“, or „modernity“. but how about „bold“, „futuristic“ and „experimental“? from our point of view, italian designers in the 20th century have often been drivers of progress, with advanced technical ideas, or the bold use of industrial manufacturing methods. one of the most versatile …

In the past, our home was our castle. Then, at some point, we had to go out into the hostile world, to the factory or the office, and our work was synchronized and optimized. From time clocks to digital time recording, we were under suspicious observation at the workplace: Do we really accomplish anything or do we just stand around …

the „swag leg chair“ by george nelson dates back to 1958 – but would still be a perfect fit in any science fiction movie today. the innovative design resulted from nelson’s demands for the development of his swag leg group, which includes chairs, a secretary and various tables. the elegantly curved legs were to be made of steel and processed …
florence knoll said of eero saarinen that he was the best designer she had ever worked with. evidence of this is that many of his designs have been consistently produced or reissued since the 1950s. the american architect with finnish roots designed the ‚pedestal‘ collection in 1957, the furniture manufacturer knoll has had it in their product range since 1958. …
Is it art – or can you sit on it? Florian: Oh, you mean the blue trolley with the yellow wheels?

All the best from antibeige – design gallery for …
1952 entwarf George Nelson einen anfangs einfach als „Laminated Chair“ bezeichneten Stuhl, produziert aus Formsperrholz. Den Spitznamen Pretzel Chair, der sich bis heute hält, hatte der Stuhl schnell weg aufgrund des ebenso eleganten wie gewagten Verlaufs der Rückenlehne in der Version mit Armlehnen. Die filigrane Erscheinung ist der sich verjüngenden Beine und Lehne geschuldet. Wir haben einen Stuhl aus der …
The idyll starts right behind Hamburg: In this case 15 km north in Henstedt-Ulzburg, Schleswig-Holstein. Originated from three medieval farming villages, but the area has probably been inhabited since the Palaeolithic. There is a very beautiful windmill, but only traces of the castle and palace are still visible. Here the Pinnau and the Alster spring up, which then transports a …
func. goes Frankfurt: We’ll move and close our showroom in Hamburg at the end of the year. Since we always travel with light luggage, we want to reduce our stock and will negotiate good prices (depending on object and charm attack). So, if you’ve got an eye on something „funky“, but never dared to ask: Now would be a good …
„func.“ originates from the word functionalism. functional furniture often comes from an industrial environment or production process, e.g. stools out of a workshop. not to throw away such pieces, but to give them a second, a new function in a home, was our initial idea and drives us to this day. And that’s exactly what we found in Jorge Penadés‘ …
today it’s not about products, but about people. working very close with clients, in their homes and with their belongings, we establish a kind of relationship, a special connection, often over years and sometimes it develops into a friendship. and we realized, these people often have something in common: they are ‚antibeige‘. antibeige is not a color, but an attitude: for more pop, more …
„Ulla, can you please find a prison door for my tower?“ Yeah, sure, no problem. For more than 4 years we accompanied the restoration of the 14th century Sülzturm in Eltville. And over this time we learned to love the tower with its infinite number of steps. Today the tower houses a private museum for modern video and installation art …

We designed and built a kitchen for a private house in Hamburg. The requirements were clearly formulated: modern, more work space and storage space than before and by no means black. The spatial conditions left little room for manoeuvre, the kitchen is around 9 square metres in size and 3 of the four walls are interrupted by doors. We …

At the listed turn of the century „Afrikahaus“ in Hamburg we designed an office floor for a management consultancy.

Unser Beitrag für das Oliv Eat in Berlin war eher klein, hat uns aber doch kurzzeitig ins Schwitzen gebracht. Die Aufgabe lautete: Könnt ihr uns 16 Eames Sidechairs, Fiberglas, forrest green besorgen. Grundsätzlich kein Problem, wären da nicht enges Budget und enges Timing. Aber: Wir haben’s geschafft. Eines freut uns besonders: Wir konnten den Kunden davon überzeugen, zu den moosgrünen Sitzschalen schwarze Vitra-Holzgestelle zu nehmen, statt der bekannten hellen …

Ein Besuch im Londoner „Barbican“ hatte uns darauf gebracht: Wir mögen es brutal. Bevor Sie jetzt an Ballerspiele und Zombie-Filme denken: Es geht um Architektur. Moderne Architektur hat durchaus ihre Fans, aber auch viele Feinde – wenn man mal in diesen Kategorien denken will. Oft erscheint das 20 Jahrhundert wie ein radikaler Bruch mit den althergebrachten Traditionen in Baukunst und …

Stock zur Balkonseite). Wer …

„i suffocate on aesthetics.“ as arne jacobsen once – only half jokingly – said. aesthetes can be tiring: his coffee cups always had to be in strict order in the cupboard, and even when selecting and arranging pieces of cake he is said to have been fastidious about appearance. but on the other hand there’s genius: an extremely passionate precision …
A true piece of history: The ‚Braniff Chair‘ by Alexander Girard.

Moscatelli developed many impressive designs for Formanova, …

even in louis h. sullivan’s famous saying „form follows function“ you’ll find the word „fun“ lurking around. gian nicola gigante was a trained architect, like sullivan, and maybe you need to be serious to put a bit of fun in a piece of office illumination. he designed this floor lamp in 1980/81 for ‚zerbetto illuminazione‘, a company founded in 1947, …
furniture made of stone is always fascinating – be it a midcentury travertin coffee table, a granite sculpture or a marble console by angelo mangiarotti. even more impressive are pieces made of „onyx marble“. while real onyx is a black and white semi-precious stone only used for jewellery, the material used for tabletops scientifically is called „aragonite-sinter“, veined and colourful, …

today „fiberglass“ (gfrp: glass-fibre reinforced plastic) is a well known material, from furniture to boatbuilding – and even racecars. but in the fifties it was still very experimental to work with. of course, first things that come to mind are the early 50’s versions of the fiberglass chairs by charles & ray eames. in france you may have seen fabulous …
how to turn a new idea for a chair’s suspension into a pop art piece: gaetano pesce’s „broadway chair“, designed in 1993. pesce, a visionary designer, artist and architect, always searched for an „anti-rationalism“ way of design. through his innovative and playful use of unusual materials and manufacturing processes he tries to add a human touch to industrial objects: „it’s …

the world famous loved and beloved gufram ‚cactus‘, designed 1972 by guido drocco and franco mello. it’s a very impressive coat stand – but beware that your chosen outfit matches this major design piece (try casually throwing a versace jacket over it). ‚cactus‘ comes as an ironic totem, and embodies the grit, the imagination and the humour of the design …
