Tira

Designed by Joachim Nees, Tira is a modular sofa with a filigree metal frame and a graceful back shell. The upholstery is designed for the utmost comfort and features elaborate decorative seams. The sofa also comes with soft loose cushions.

When users pull the seat forward, the backrest upholstery changes into an additional seating surface. For greater comfort, users can also stretch out completely on the sofa.

In addition, one can enjoy the comfort of a high back, with an optional cushion that leans up against the back shell that can incline to various adjustable heights.

580

Designed by Formstelle, the 580 armchair is a distinctive design featuring a wooden frame that’s inspired by the idea of folding. 580 underscores Formstelle’s sound expertise in joinery, and Rolf Benz’s craftsmanship and skill in upholstery. With its audacious shape, elaborate decorative seams and comfortable upholstery, Rolf Benz 580 is a piece of design that one won’t soon forget.

Powerful presence, silent service: Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series

In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
