I’ve featured the work of young German design brand Stattmann Neue Moebel before, when Studio Oink styled this lovely interior scene, but I wanted to share a few more of their beautiful products.
Founded in 2011 by siblings Nicola and Oliver Stattmann, Stattmann Neue Moebel produces minimalist, solid wood furniture by an eclectic selection of young international designers including Belgian designers Sylvain Willenz and Marina Bautier as well as German designer Steffen Kehrle. From tables and chairs to shelves and modular furniture, functionality, clean lines, high quality craftsmanship, honest and long-lasting products are key values of the brand – elements I always look for in furniture (my boyfriend has put me on a chair ban though, apparently we have too many in the house!).
Central to their approach is the sustainable production of furniture in the siblings’ ancestors’ mill and small workshops in Germany. All parts are manufactured by hand, aided by technology such as CNC milling machines. ‘The production in Ascheberg is state of the art and all components come from our region. We address people who care about where their furniture comes from and how it was manufactured’, says Nicola Stattmann. ‘This is why we only use wood from Germany, originating from sustainable forestry.’
They’ve recently launched some new products including the Profile Table by Sylvain Willenz (below). Debuted at imm cologne this year, the profile table is a lightweight solid wood table with a simple construction: table top and legs are plugged into each other. The minimal design comes in natural ash, white, rose, blueblack and a gorgeous rich red seen below.
It complements the Profile Chair (above and below) – a stacking chair made of sustainably produced wood and natural fibre. The chair is made up of lightweight fibre-reinforced tubes which are wound in soaked cotton – interestingly, a high-tech process used in the manufacturing of sports equipment.
Tray, below, by Steffen Kehrle, is a finely crafted board made of solid wood with indentations for dropping keys, phones and other bits and bobs that clutter a home. Available in natural oak, ash blueblack, white and red, Tray is made from one solid piece to emphasise the grain of the wood at the edges.
Designed by German designer Steffen Kehrle, Plug is a solid wood shelf with a clever plug-in system, which can be assembled without any tools, screws or glue.
