Zeitraum Furniture

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!

Kartell's New Stool

Kartell have added a new addition to their "ghost" stable of furniture and accessories by Philippe Starck. Titled "One More, One More Please" this family of stools features the familiar silhouette of the Victoria Ghost Chair back mounted on a bar and counter height stool. This oval version is partnered with a square back version - similar to that seen on the La Marie Chair. In a new palette of colours - from the lighter lavender, yellow and sand, the range also comes in the original and classic Kartell black and white. Both stool heights come with a footrest and at great value at £208.00 this is sure to be a big hit with both the contract and domestic markets.

The Chic and Unique Eco-Friendly Stool

Every inch of this eco-friendly flat packed seating solution is brimming with style, from its handy carry case to the constructed outcome. Unpack it, fold it, slot it together and voilà - you have your very own sustainable piece of furniture which can be used as a stool, chair or table! Made from FSC-Certified corrugated cardboard it can hold up to 200 kilos of weight thanks to its ingenious design.

At an amazingly affordable price, it's hard to choose between Beachwood, Tree Trunk, Straw, Bellefleur and Coffee, all of which command instant attention. We predict these photo realistic beauties will be loved by all and, at such a fantastic price (£25.00) they make fantastic gifts too.
