The YUA series lounge furniture, designed by kaschkasch, has been honored with the Best of Design Award from SCHÖNER WOHNEN magazine. The award recognized an outdoor collection that impresses with its clean, formal design and subtle, distinctive details.

Typical of YUA is the interplay of sleek steel tubes and surfaces that gently wrap around the structure, giving the series its own distinctive design identity. This balance of restraint and expression is particularly evident in the lounge furniture: the designs appear elegant, modern, and inviting at the same time.

The collection offers a wide range of combination options and is available in the colors Silk Gray and Granite Gray. Made of galvanized and powder-coated steel with a high-quality, weather-resistant finish, the furniture is exceptionally durable and ideally suited for outdoor use.

With its sophisticated design language, versatility, and high-quality materials, the YUA lounge furniture embodies contemporary outdoor design—a quality that also impressed the jury of the Best of Design Awards.

The PORTER series, designed by Sebastian Herkner, was honored with the German Design Award “Winner” 2026. The award recognizes a piece of furniture that convincingly combines mobility, functionality, and a clear, contemporary design language.

Like a reliable companion, PORTER is always exactly where it’s needed. The distinctive round handle invites you to effortlessly carry the table from one place to another—into the garden, to your favorite spot in the house, or back into the living room. It is precisely this effortless flexibility that makes PORTER a piece of furniture that integrates naturally into everyday life.

Crafted from powder-coated aluminum, PORTER combines robustness with a pleasant lightness. The material makes the table durable yet versatile, allowing it to adapt to a wide variety of environments and usage scenarios. Whether indoors or outdoors—PORTER embodies a modern lifestyle that isn’t rigid but remains in motion.

With its minimalist design, practical handling, and mobility, PORTER embodies a new way of thinking about furniture. The table is not only functional but also accompanies the small and big moments of everyday life—flexible, uncomplicated, and ready to be wherever life happens. It was precisely this combination of design excellence and everyday practicality that also convinced the jury of the German Design Award 2026.

The STAY series, designed by kaschkasch, was honored with the German Design Award “Special” in 2021. The outdoor collection embodies relaxed comfort, clean design, and hassle-free outdoor use.

With its weatherproof, water-repellent, and quick-drying materials, STAY is ideal for patios and gardens. The high-quality textiles are UV-resistant, easy to care for, and, thanks to their robust construction, provide reliable protection against the elements. A filling of EPS beads ensures dimensional stability and high comfort

The outdoor lounger, in particular, invites you to enjoy the warm season in a completely relaxed manner outdoors. Complemented by matching poufs and cushions, the STAY series combines functionality, flexibility, and modern outdoor comfort—a quality that also impressed the jury of the German Design Award 2021.

The IRIS series, designed by Sebastian Herkner, was honored with the German Design Award “Winner” 2025. The lamp captivates with its extraordinary design and translates the characteristic design elements of the smaller outdoor version into a generous format for indoor use.

Particularly striking is the large glass shade with enclosed air bubbles, which evokes a mysterious underwater world. The enlarged lamp head highlights these details even more, lending IRIS a special visual depth. The light radiates from within, creating an atmospheric effect reminiscent of the magic of the deep sea.

The clean design is complemented by a protruding switch with a knurled rotary knob, which lends the luminaire an additional tactile quality and creates an exciting contrast to the aluminum base. As with the smaller version, three light colors can be dimmed continuously, elegantly combining functionality and ambiance.

With its sculptural appearance, unique material effects, and atmospheric lighting, the IRIS series also impressed the jury of the German Design Award 2025.

The bench and stool from the ELI series, designed by Theresa Rand, were honored with the German Design Award “Special” in 2022. Crafted in Europe from locally sourced solid oak, these pieces impress with their robust materiality, clean lines, and exceptional durability.

The striking strength of the solid wood lends the designs a powerful visual and structural presence. At the same time, gently rounded edges and soft forms create a warm, sensual aura. The result is seating furniture that harmoniously combines robustness and lightness.

With their minimalist, inviting design, the bench and stool blend into a wide variety of environments and represent timeless design built to last for generations.

The ORU series, designed by Robin Scholtysik, was honored with the 2025 German Design Award “Winner” for its wall shelves and benches. The award recognizes a collection that uniquely combines sculptural lightness, functional versatility, and a clear, architectural design language.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese art of origami, ORU translates the idea of folding into modern furniture. What began as a delicate side table has evolved into a comprehensive and functional collection. Characteristic of the series is its design featuring striking steel sheets that combine robustness with visual lightness.

The ORU wall shelves, in particular, impress with their high flexibility. They are available in three different length configurations and can be individually combined to create unique and functional wall solutions. Whether as a single shelf next to a bed or sofa, as a longer shelf for books and decorative objects, or as a practical solution in the kitchen—ORU adapts to a wide variety of living situations.

The side tables of the ORU series, designed by Robin Scholtysik, have been honored with the SCHÖNER WOHNEN Award. The award recognizes a design that combines sculptural lightness with functional clarity.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese art of origami, ORU translates the idea of folding into a modern furniture language. The side table forms the centerpiece of the series: crafted from thin sheets of metal, it creates a three-dimensional form that appears both delicate and striking.

Distinctive details such as laser-cut joints and gently curved intersections give the table its characteristic aesthetic and underscore the precision of the design. Different sizes also allow for versatile applications—either individually as a sculptural statement or combined to create a larger storage surface.

Available in several sizes and colors, ORU combines architectural form with everyday practicality, exemplifying contemporary design that also impressed the jury of the SCHÖNER WOHNEN Award.

The VOLOS tables, designed by Sebastian Herkner, have been awarded the Best of Design Award and embody a unique blend of natural materials and timeless design. Crafted from travertine, a porous limestone characterised by distinctive holes, pores and subtle variations in colour, each piece takes on a unique character.

It is precisely these natural features that give the series its appeal and lend the tables their lively, authentic character. At the same time, VOLOS impresses with a clear, understated design language that places the natural stone at the centre.

The tables are available in various colours and sizes and can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of interior design concepts. In this way, the series elegantly combines high-quality materials, functionality and a natural aesthetic, which was recognised by the jury of the Best of Design Awards.

The SUKOYA shelf, designed by Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake for blomus, has been honored with the Best of Design Award from SCHÖNER WOHNEN magazine. The award recognizes a design that impresses with its clean lines, high functionality, and flexible design options.

The name SUKOYA refers to the Japanese term for a tool used to mark a 90° angle, thus alluding to the shelf’s linear frame design. True to Kazushige Miyake’s design philosophy, the shelf takes a visual backseat, placing the decorative items and favorite objects displayed within it at the center of attention. At the same time, it provides practical storage space and brings order to the living area.

The KUON furniture series, created by Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake, has been honored with the Best of Design Award from SCHÖNER WOHNEN. The award recognizes the collection’s exceptional design quality, which impresses with its clean lines, high level of comfort, and versatile applications.

The KUON collection captivates with a design that appears simple at first glance yet is, at the same time, extremely sophisticated. With its well-thought-out design language and modular versatility, the series offers the perfect seating solution for a wide variety of situations. Whether with or without a backrest, compact or generously sized—the small furniture series allows for flexible living space design and stylishly furnishes small living rooms as well as hallways, guest houses, or lounges. In the latest expansion, the collection is also complemented by a chaise lounge.

The SITTA series, created by Swedish designer Anton Björsing, was honored with the 2025 German Design Award “Winner.” The award recognizes the successful blend of Scandinavian design tradition, precise craftsmanship, and a contemporary interpretation of minimalist furniture design.

Anton Björsing, born in Sweden in 1983, combines craftsmanship with design clarity in his work. After training as a carpenter, he studied at the Steneby Design School in Gothenburg, at Carl Malmsten Furniture Studies in Linköping, and at the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London. His work has always been characterized by a special enthusiasm for wood, which he uses in both furniture and interior design in clear and well-thought-out designs.

With the SITTA series, Björsing translates this affinity for the material into a furniture collection that impresses with its sleek proportions and minimalist principles. The pieces are characterized by elegant, clean lines and a minimalist design language that truly comes into its own in the simple, precisely crafted details.

The ABENTO series, created by designer Adam Miller for blomus, was awarded the German Design Award Gold in 2022—one of the highest honors bestowed by this prestigious international design award. The jury recognized the successful combination of clear form language, functional design, and an inspiring cultural reference.

The series takes its name from the traditional Asian bento box, which is used in Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean cuisine to transport homemade meals. This idea of structured, practical storage served as inspiration for the design of the ABENTO tray.

The result is a simple yet sculptural wooden tray that impresses with its clean construction and timeless aesthetics. A defining feature is the two legs that cross the body of the tray. They allow for a comfortable grip while simultaneously dividing the surface into three functional zones, promoting organization and intuitive use in everyday life.

The ILO series, designed by the renowned design studio kaschkasch, represents a successful blend of functionality, aesthetics, and an emotional product experience. The fact that the series was honored with the 2023 German Design Award “Winner” impressively underscores the design quality and the thoughtful approach behind the products.

The series comprises four accessories for wine enjoyment, designed to make special moments even more memorable. The name ILO, which means “joy” in Finnish, reflects the series’ philosophy: wine is more than just a drink—it is part of shared experiences, enjoyment, and a zest for life.

Characteristic of the ILO products is their harmonious, clean design language, which appears both functional and timeless. The accessories are available in various colors and can thus be ideally integrated into different table and living room concepts.

Designed by Kazushige Miyake, the SUKOYA series won the German Design Award 2026 and stands for precise lines and functional clarity. The name—Japanese for a protractor—refers to the striking, right-angled frame design that gives the collection its architectural calm and deliberately focuses attention on the objects on display.

SUKOYA is available in a wooden version with an oak frame and in a metal version made of powder-coated steel, each with FSC-certified shelves made of oak veneer in natural or white oiled. Different board sizes and flexibly adjustable shelves allow for individual configurations. The well-thought-out construction also ensures easy assembly.

SUKOYA combines timeless design with flexible functionality – excellent design for structured rooms.

The KAMI series was awarded the Red Dot Award 2025 “Winner” in the Lighting Design category and impresses with its poetic design language. Inspired by the lightness of a hot air balloon, the table lamp combines Far Eastern craftsmanship with modernity, designed by Kazushige Miyake.

“KAMI” – Japanese for paper – bathes rooms in a warm, soft light. The delicate rice paper lampshade creates a pleasant, diffuse light effect and a calm, cozy atmosphere. The high-quality wooden base provides a natural, stable contrast and lends the lamp additional warmth.

The characteristic balloon shape symbolizes freedom and a spirit of adventure – and at the same time the home as a safe anchor point. Whether in the bedroom, living room, or children's room, KAMI adds a stylish, atmospheric highlight and brings imagination and elegance to any room.

Equipped with a dimmer switch for individual light control, KAMI harmoniously combines design and functionality. The light bulb is sold separately.

The NAGOMI series was awarded the German Design Award 2025 and impresses with its harmonious combination of aesthetics, comfort, and sustainability. Inspired by the simplicity and elegance of nature, the design embodies the essence of calm and balance.

Created by Japanese designer Kazushige Miyake, NAGOMI consists of four gently curved molded parts made of high-quality, FSC-certified plywood. Rounded edges, a slightly sloping backrest, and a generous seat ensure a relaxed, inviting seating experience. The elegant oak veneer highlights the natural grain of the wood and gives the chair a warm, organic look that blends seamlessly into a variety of interiors.

NAGOMI also sets standards in terms of manufacturing: the wood comes from Croatian forests within a 90-kilometer radius of the production facility. Material-efficient manufacturing, the processing of residual wood into pallets, and the use of solar panels enable virtually climate-neutral production.

NAGOMI combines first-class craftsmanship with Japanese sophistication—an outstanding design statement with a timeless presence.

The YUA series, designed by kaschkasch, won the German Design Award 2024 and stands for formal clarity in the outdoor sector. The design is deliberately understated, yet precise and with a clear DNA of its own. A characteristic feature is the detail where the flat surfaces wrap around the tubes of the main struts – a connecting element that gives the entire family its harmonious expression.

YUA includes chairs with and without armrests, a lounger, and matching tables in various sizes and shapes. In addition to the flat steel version (YUA), a more delicate version is available with YUA WIRE, complemented by a lounge sofa. All models are available in Silk Gray and Granite Gray and can be flexibly combined. Made of galvanized steel with a high-quality outdoor powder coating, the series is durable and robust – ideal for stylish outdoor areas.

The VOLOS series, designed by Sebastian Herkner, was awarded the Red Dot Winner 2024 in the Furniture Design category—a prize that recognizes design, materiality, and innovation on an international level.

The VOLOS tables are made of travertine, a porous limestone with a distinctive character. This natural stone is characterized by its open pores, fine holes, and natural color nuances. It is precisely this lively structure that gives each table an individual look and makes each piece unique. The surface appears powerful and warm at the same time – an exciting interplay of archaic materiality and contemporary design language.

Available in various colors and sizes, VOLOS can be integrated into a wide range of interior designs – as a sculptural individual piece or in combination with others. With VOLOS, natural stone becomes a stage for award-winning design.

The SITTA series by Anton Björsing has been honored with the Iconic Design Award—a tribute to furniture that sees minimalism not as a sacrifice, but as a design strength.

With a seat height of 45 cm and a seat depth of 55 cm, SITTA offers balanced proportions for comfortable seating. The series opens up a wide range of possibilities for use and design and, thanks to its elegant restraint, blends harmoniously into a wide variety of living concepts.

SITTA is a statement of modern design: clear, well thought-out, and focused on the essentials – winner of the Iconic Design Award.

The KOYOI series, designed by Kazushige Miyake, has been awarded the Iconic Design Award 2024: Best of Best – an honor for design that shows attitude and sets standards.

“Koyoi” means “this evening” in Japanese – a word with a poetic sound and quiet romance. It is precisely this mood that the collection conveys. The handmade, mouth-blown glasses with their distinctive, thick ice base appear like small sculptures of the moment: clear, present, and sensual at the same time.

The selection has been carefully curated: two wide-open shapes for martinis and champagne, an elegant, tall prosecco glass, and two smaller versions for brandy and liqueur moments. Each silhouette is designed to emphasize the aroma, character, and ritual of the respective drink.

KOYOI combines Japanese sensibility with precision craftsmanship. The collection is more than just glass—it is an invitation to celebrate the moment and consciously enjoy “this evening.”

The elegant oak veneer emphasizes the natural grain of the wood and gives the chair a warm, organic look. Sustainability plays a central role here: the wood comes from Croatia and is sourced within a 90-kilometer radius of the production facility. 

Production is material-efficient, surplus wood is processed into pallets, and thanks to solar panels, the factory is virtually climate-neutral.
NAGOMI combines first-class craftsmanship with Japanese sophistication—an outstanding design statement that lends timeless elegance to any room.
