We've added
Zeitraum
to our stable of European contemporary furniture brands. This Germany
company, founded by Birgit Gämmerler in 1990. Started in an old
flour-mill with
loft-style rooms and with the waters of the river Loisach powering its
underground turbines
Zeitraum still has its base there today. The
first designs for chairs, tables, beds and small furnishings were
drafted there and the pieces made by local joiners. The making of the
furniture was always difficult, the designers preferring clever wooden
joints to simple screw-together solutions, or maybe even demanding the
use of bone-glue as a natural alternative to conventional resin glues.
The architect Peter Gaebelein was brought into the team in 1994
to coordinate production. In the following years reliable manufacturers
were found in Germany, Austria and Italy, capable of producing the
furniture in larger quantities, whilst still adhering to the strict
Zeitraum quality standards. Today, the pure material quality that is
Zeitraum's trademark is in huge demand, and the products enjoy international success.
Zeitraum isn't just furniture,
Zeitraum
is an attitude to life and the things around us. The objects which
accompany us through life should have character, whilst also being
practical, adaptable and unobtrusive. They are a mirror and an
expression of their owner, a servant and a friend.
Zeitraum
furniture is attractive because of its exceptionally good quality, not
because of designer frills. It impresses without dominating – exciting
in its simplicity. Don't just take our word for it though see the
Zeitraum collection!
