DESIGNWEEK 2022 – 8 brands 5 showrooms

Retailers, architects and interior designers from across Germany and around the world are invited to experience the latest products by Draenert, Freistil Rolf Benz, Interstuhl, Kettnaker, Object Carpet, Rolf Benz, Schönbuch and Walter Knoll. Also on the schedule, there are tours around their studios and manufacturing facilities as well as lectures and workshops. But the focus will be on meeting the partners for a face-to-face chat. If you need any assistance with travel arrangements, hotel bookings, or require a shuttle service, the brands will be happy to help you.

Draenert is a traditional furniture manufactory which is especially well-known for dining tables, chairs, and coffee tables with innovative features. Beyond this, they are world-renowned for their stone tables. In their factory stone park in Immenstaad on Lake Constance, visitors can experience more than 150 types of natural stone types from all over the world.

Freistil Rolf Benz offers comfortable soft furnishings for free spirits, pieces that accompany you through every stage in life, constantly reinventing themselves.

For Object Carpet, carpets are the great passion. Their motto: ‘We want to make things even better. That means: uncompromising quality paired with special design.’ The company headquarters, OBJECT CAMPUS – City of Vision, is well worth a visit. An open house with a showroom, an academy, and flexible working and meeting places.

Rolf Benz is probably the most famous German furniture brand and synonymous worldwide with superior seating and timeless elegance.

The Interstuhl brand has been synonymous with healthy office seating for more than 60 years. In recent years it has also become known for its innovative system solutions for individual office settings. Interstuhl is an owner-managed group of companies based in the Schwäbische Alb region of Germany and one of Europe’s leading manufacturers. Its mission is to offer the best possible solutions for its customers – today and in the future.

Kettnaker, based in the Swabian town of Dürmentingen, has been cultivating the art of woodworking for more than 150 years. Their portfolio comprises high-quality, individually configurable furniture made in Germany, from wardrobes and sideboards to beds.

Schönbuch is a brand that gets noticed – for crisp designs and expressive colours. Specialising in furnishing entrance areas, Schönbuch values aesthetics and functionality.

At the Walter Knoll brandland in Herrenberg, you can experience the brand live in all its facets. Watch over the artisans’ shoulders in the glass factory hall; touch and see Walter Knoll furniture for yourself in the newly designed showroom. Inspiring interiors meet high tech and craftsmanship in the iconic architecture of the Walter Knoll headquarters.
