Properly sorted, stored and space saved with USM Haller, Nils Holger Moormann & Co.

The most important basis for a pleasant and stylish living and working atmosphere is a certain basic order - objects must be stowed and sorted. However, the requirements are - depending on the area of ​​life - very diverse: workspaces and offices rely on filing cabinets that are flexible to use and also robust and secure. Modular design furniture, such as the Stapelbox M1 from Vario or the customisable USM Haller modular furniture system are particularly suited to these requirements. In domestic spaces, apart from functionality the individuality also stands to the fore, for all the choice in terms of colours, materials and finishes. Also suitable for domestic purpose are customisable shelving systems that are versatile and can be employed as shelving, bookshelves and/or filing cabinet

TV Lowboard R 109 N from Müller Möbelfabrikation

The well-considered cabinet ensures a perfect order

If there is a lack of structure and order in the organisation in the household, a quick remedy is provided with the correct storage option. Here, designer furniture is often clearly in the advantage because they are explicitly tailored to the particular requirements. Thanks to the focus on functionality the, for example, wardrobe Plane from Müller Möbelwerkstätten has space for any garment and impresses with its simple design paired with unusual details. The K1 cabinets from Nils Holger Moormann also provide enough space and storage space to keep the entire household in order. They can also be individually configured to be used in the living area as a wardrobe or kitchen cupboard instead of their original function as a bookcase or filing cabinet. The same applies to the shelves of the manufacturer String: having enjoyed global popularity since the 1960s the hanging shelves are today at home in any room at home, not least thanks to the colour variety of the Wall Ladder and shelves founded.

Vitra's Hang it All Clothes Rack

Modular storage from USM Haller

The perfect place for home entertainment

TV equipment and hi-fi accessories should never be neglected in interior design. Many systems are therefore more than just suitable for the office, they also feel particularly at home in the home. Thus, with the appropriate TV Lowboard R 200N or R 109 N from Müller Möbelfabrikation, your entertainment can be appropriately and stylishly placed in the focus of attention.

Clothes racks - between design classics and artwork

In order to create enough shelving and storage space for jackets, shoes, hats, keys and the like, very different designer clothes and coat racks offer the perfect solution. While coat racks with hanging space and/or a hat shelf usually appear rather subtle, clothes racks can also seem quite sculptural, when not plain extravagant, as, for example, the Piano from Peruse. Especially popular among cloths racks are design classics such as the Vitra Hang it all, which was originally conceived as a children's clothes rack, or the Nymphenburg from ClassiCon, which exudes the charm of a turn of the century café, restaurant or noble home. Finally, with wall-mounted coat racks, such as Pin Coat by Nils Holger Moormann, one has a real eye-catcher which can be placed in the entrance area or in the hallway.

Budapest Design Week 2024 Compact: Alfréd by Szebedy Vajk

...But a Quixotian task Alfréd, having unwisely accepted, is, apparently we'll placed to meet: on and within the main body one finds storage space for both those objects that often from necessity, often from laziness, one stores for longer periods without ever using, and also those things that are more or less in continual use and thus must be more placed in easy reach than stored; the neck/lance with its protrusions of varying lengths provides space for hanging things on and over, whereby clothes are the obvious option, but by no means the only; while the flat upper surface of the body, which may or not be as with the back of an actual giraffe, provides a ready surface for an impromptu notebook/tablet workstation, that thing we'll all be needing in our near-future post-desk reality...

Designblok Prague 2024 Compact: Josef Tomšej - My Daughter's Room

...Similarly, at each and every design week or furniture fair we invariably ask ourselves if we need ever more sectional/modular shelving and storage systems, as we stand in front of another interpretation of the concept... In terms of shelving and storage we're much harder than we are with chairs, and often decide that we don't...

Designblok Prague 2024 Compact: Two Hundred Tons

It's more or less a century since the first steel tube furniture was developed, and looking around you it's relatively easy to believe that since then everything has been done, that steel tube furniture has reached its full potential. Or perhaps more...

Organizing Things at the Werkbundarchiv - Museum der Dinge, Berlin

...Or, for example, the ninth and tenth of the eight cabinets: two vitrines in the permanent exhibition space specially curated in context of Organizing Things to allow for reflections on Office Arrangement, via, for example, folders of varying genres, rubber stamps or index cards, that unassuming tool that was of such fundamental importance to the development of commerce in the early 20th century; and to allow for reflections on Systems Design, via, for example, the Braun Lectron modular electronic experimentation kit, Wilhelm Wagenfeld's Kubus storage system, or index cards, that unassuming tool that was of such fundamental importance to the development of museal and archive collections... Going forward our physical, tangible instruments and tools will without question change, or perhaps better put, going forward ever new physical, tangible, digital, instruments and tools will emerge and become dominant, an inevitably underscored not only by Serverraum, but by, and amongst many other examples to be found in the Museum der Dinge, the iPod, the index cards, Wilhelm Wagenfeld's Kubus storage system, or by the two photographic slide storage cabinets in the temporary exhibition space, which all confirm that over time our accustomed physical, tangible instruments and tools for organizing become obsolete, become replaced by, to partially misquote a Konstantin Grcic, New Normals...

Radio smow: A Shelving Playlist…….

...As with most furniture genres, save arguably the bed, shelves are an essentially human invention, one universal amongst the numerous peoples of the earth, and one whose (hi)story can be traced back to the earliest peoples; for example, in the remains of the neolithic settlement at Skara Brae on Orkney one finds evidence of shelving units, both stacked systems and wall recesses, and, one presumes, that those early shelves were conceived as places of storage and display... In the intervening 5000 years since the Skara Brae community established itself, the purpose and functionality of shelving has barely changed; however, and as with all those objects with which we share our lives, the cultural relevance of the shelf has taken on all manner of metaphorical, idiomatic and figurative uses, meaning that shelving has long since ceased to be a purely physical place of storage and display...
