Shelf System 7000
f/p design
Elegant, simple, and modular: the shelf system 7000 has a basic grid of 140 cm x 20 or 40 cm and a depth of 40 cm. It can be assembled without tools and extended in width and height through additional elements. Diverse surfaces offer a broad range of uses from the living to the contract sector. The contrast between the 4 cm thick shelves and the clear, reduced metal support structure is aesthetically attractive.

Chair Program 130
Design Naoto Fukasawa
Calm, harmonic, with subtle details – the new chair program complements the tables 1130. Naoto Fukasawa used the most typical Thonet material for his design: solid wood. The result is a program that seems to have fallen out of time with its archetypal-universal form and construction: a simple wooden chair with an ergonomically shaped seat resting on its frame and a comfortable backrest.

Table Program 1580
Design Claudio Bellini
Lightweight and modern: these elegant wooden tables match many interior design styles. The softly curved edges of the tabletop, which rests flush on the frame and thus creates a lightweight appearance, are characteristic for this design. The graceful legs curve outwards and taper towards the floor. These details evoke a contemporary aesthetics of high quality.

Nesting Tables 1010
Design Marc Venot
As stand-alone pieces or a group, the new nested side tables are an exciting, contemporary interpretation of the classic tubular steel nested tables from the 1920s. Their organic curves combined with clear basic forms result in an attractive aesthetic contrast. As individual side tables they structure the space or, pushed together, become an interesting geometrical object.

75 Years of the Classic S 285
Design Marcel Breuer, 1935
This classic is a successful example of the Bauhaus principle of combining art and technology into a formal unity. This simple, proportionally balanced piece of furniture epitomizes an expressive part of history known as "The New Objectivity." In the anniversary year we present various versions and a special edition.
Current product changes:
- We have equipped the desk's drawers with a self-closing drawer track. Due to the increased size of the track, the arrangement and number of drawers has therefore changed.
- The version with shelves can now be fitted with drawers. They have an individual order number.
