Five bentwood design premieres at Giardina!

This year, our team is bursting with creativity. No fewer than three refreshing round bench designs from the pen of our master craftsman Tim Kopetzki are celebrating their debut at Giardina. There is also a sculptural bentwood stool by Beat Frank, a grand seigneur of art design. And, for the first time in our 88-year company history: a tree-like coat stand, plus a minimalist, elegant bench-table combination (designed by Shaun Hürlimann).

You can find our entire range of bentwood round benches here. 

When developing our flexible round benches, we work with parametric programming, a digital knowledge that our newest employee Miro Bannwart brings to our team.

Roman Winkler, owner of Holzbiegewerk, gives a lecture on “The art of wood bending”. And to give even more insight into our special wood craft, we spare no effort and transport an original wood bending press to Zurich, a 60-year-old steel monster weighing several tons. Yes, such indestructible machines are actually still in daily use here. 

We have booked a second stand to give these stories their space:

In hall 2, stand H10, we will be showing our entire bench range, so in addition to a long HARMONICA, now with stainless steel consoles, we will also be showing the latest works by our in-house designer Tim Kopetzki: the playful MILLISEDE stool bench, the dynamic VORTEX round tree bench and the ergonomic ARBOSEDA tree bench.

In Hall 3, Stand D15, we will be giving an insight into our workshop. Plus, LOLA celebrates its premiere: a very elegant bench and table combination. Naturally with organic shapes, naturally steam-bent! The idea and realization are by Shaun Hürlimann, designer and wood bender. 

You will find us where it steams. We look forward to seeing you!
