Our Design Partners Turning Ideas into innovations
We don’t just make furniture – we create design history. For more than 100 years, we have been inviting pioneers and creatives to develop new furniture together with us. The most progressive architects and designers of their time are behind products that not only impress with their function and aesthetics, but that also change how we live and work. See for yourself!

Aesthetic, functional, yet uncompromisingly sustainable: the name of architect Stefan Behnisch is a byword for architecture that conserves resources and makes people feel comfortable. What is less well-known is the fact that he has also created furniture systems that are so timelessly appealing and flexible that they last for decades - whether in the German Bundestag or on the other side of the Atlantic.
The Danish architect Verner Panton was a visionary of his times. His designs are characterised by daring colour creations and creative ideas. As a VS design partner he developed several chair ranges and is, among other things, the brain behind the ‘PantoChairs’.
