Design Awards

Design awards such as the Red Dot or the German Design Award recognise outstanding pieces of furniture and designers.

Design Classics

Design classics are timeless pieces of furniture that transcend generations thanks to their outstanding design and quality. Examples such as the Eames Lounge Chair set standards and remain a source of inspiration for the furniture industry.

Design Furniture

Designer furniture is more than just functional items – it combines practicality with stylish design. Its value is evident in its thoughtful design, clean lines, high-quality materials and long-lasting quality.

Design Plus

The Design Plus award honours products that combine functionality, aesthetics and innovation in an exceptional way.

Designer

Designers are creative minds who design furniture that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Their influence ranges from minimalist concepts to luxurious one-offs that shape trends and timeless classics.

Designpreis der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (German national award for design)

This prestigious award recognises outstanding products and concepts in the field of design. It is considered the highest official award in Germany and honours innovative and sustainable design.

Dormitory

A hall of residence is a communal form of accommodation that usually offers temporary living space for specific target groups such as students, trainees or commuters.

Double Bed

A double bed offers generous sleeping comfort for two people. Available in various designs, materials and sizes, it is often complemented with storage solutions or ergonomic mattresses.

Drawer Bed

A drawer bed is a particularly practical solution for anyone who needs additional storage space in their bedroom – without having to set up extra furniture. The integrated drawers under the bed offer space for bedding, clothing, books or seasonal items and help to keep the room tidy. A drawer bed is a real space saver, especially in small flats, teenagers' rooms or guest rooms.

Dresser

A dresser is a versatile piece of furniture with drawers or doors that is primarily used to store clothing, everyday items, or personal belongings. It combines functionality with design and can be flexibly integrated into a wide variety of living areas—whether in the bedroom, hallway, living room, or home office.

Durability

Durability is a key quality feature of sustainable furniture design. It describes a product's ability to remain functional, stable and aesthetically pleasing over many years – regardless of changing living situations or usage scenarios. Furniture with a long service life makes a significant contribution to conserving resources, avoiding waste and minimising the ecological footprint.
