Every year, furniture companies present their latest furniture creations at popular furniture fairs such as the IMM Cologne or the Salone del Mobile in Milan. Unusual furniture from designer sofas to designer dining tables or designer chairs and armchairs are on show. Some furniture makes it into retail shops, others are so unusual that in some cases they are only offered online.
People have loved to surround themselves with beautiful furniture for many centuries. The first valuable pieces of furniture were made for the lords of castles in the Middle Ages, and it often took decades before a room was fully furnished. These pieces of jewellery, which were created at that time, are rarely described as "design furniture", these antiques originate from the hands of very skilful craftsmen.
It was not until the Art Nouveau era that some groups began to focus specifically on furniture design and furniture was created that is still categorised as design furniture today. In Germany, the history of furniture design began in the 19th century, when this subject was first taught at arts and crafts schools. It was mainly solid wood furniture from this period, the good design of which can still be seen in modern furniture today.
The most famous period of furniture design began with the start of the Bauhaus phase. The designer chairs, designer tables and designer armchairs created at this time are now coveted collector's items and some companies still produce these classics today. Furniture by Charles Eames or Mies van der Rohe has become one of the world's most coveted collector's items.
But even today, there are many young designers who have taken an interest in furniture design. This means that a wide variety of furnishing styles can be catered for with the current collections. In addition to the shape, a wide variety of material compositions are also at the centre of the design. The advantage of this young design furniture is that it can still be purchased at a reasonable price and perhaps you have already bought the design classic of the future with your new favourite piece?
In our online shop you will find a targeted selection of young, modern and fresh design furniture, some of which have already been honoured with the "red dot" design award.
