Snug

Stattmann Neue Möbel and Atelier Steffen Kehrle present their first bed: "SNUG".

In the west of Munich, Stenger2 Architekten and the interior experts at Arnold/Werner are transforming the former Aubing thermal power station into a monumental cultural meeting place complete with bat biotope. It is to go by the name of Bergson Kunstkraftwerk.

Studio Besau-Marguerre has created an interior design concept for the workrooms of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe MK&G in Hamburg that combines different trends.

With the Add Stool by Steffen Kehrle, Stattmann Neue Moebel has presented a stool that lends itself to many different settings. We met Nicola Stattmann and the designer in the Munich office.

Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie is not only beautiful from the outside. Architect Daniel Schöning and Hamburg design duo Marcel Besau and Eva Marguerre have also designed the interior accordingly and created several items specially for the building.

In the hunt for the feel-good factor that straddles the tried-and-true and the surprisingly new, designers and manufacturers are busy presenting their novelties at the imm cologne and the Passagen. The clear message: Things are getting more softer and sensual.

Nicola Stattmann is considered an expert on new materials and technologies. In a joint venture with her brother she is now presenting “Stattmann Neue Möbel” and in doing so takes her family’s joinery into its fourth generation. The first designs illustrate that there are still a great deal of opportunities for development innate in reputedly traditional wooden furniture.
