(smow) blog compact IMM Cologne Special: Müller Möbelfabrikation

It may have been because at IMM Cologne 2014 they were given a larger stand than in previous years. It may just have been that the time was ripe. The "why" is however ultimately unimportant, what is important is that at IMM Cologne 2014 Augsburg based Müller Möbelfabrikation presented a series of new products that decisively extended the company's portfolio, a series of new products that, in our opinion, make Müller Möbelfabrikation a more rounded, more complete company. And which achieved

IMM Cologne 2013: PS 07 Bureau by Delphin Design for Müller Möbelfabrikation

There are few things more pleasing in the world of furniture design than seeing a designer successfully replicating a winning form in a new object from another product genus. Seamlessly translating an idea developed for one project into a new context. A particularly good example of such a translation can be seen in the PS 07 bureau by Berlin based Delphin Design for Müller Möbelfabrikation. If we're honest, when we saw the PS 07 on the Müller stand at IMM Cologne 2013, although we noticed a

Orgatec 2012: A Factory Visit to Müller Möbelfabrikation

Established in 1996 by three friends with a shared passion for classic metal furniture, Müller Möbelfabrikation has grown steadily over the last decade and a half into one of Europe's most interesting contemporary furniture manufacturers. They don't do anything especially revolutionary, and there is certainly no danger of them ever redefining the fabric of furniture design. However, they are currently producing some of the most interesting, brash and accessible furniture on the market, and

IMM Köln 2012: Müller Möbelfabrikation

A drawer. Honestly that is all it takes and you’ve got us. A desk with a drawer. Or even better multiple drawers. As if Müller Möbelfabrikation could read our minds, we were met on their stand in Cologne by the most fantastic sheet steel desk. With soooo many drawers. If that's not a guaranteed to way to get our attention! If we did have one slight criticism it would be the decision to display a version in orange. If there is one colour that is real hard to photograph under exhibition

IMM Cologne 2011: Müller Möbelfabrikation

One of the unfortunate weaknesses of IMM Cologne is the general lack of new products on show - either at the fair itself or out and about at the fringe events. That's not 100% IMM's fault rather the collective failing of a furniture industry that continues to focus, almost paranoid, on the Milan Design Week. Fortunately there are one or two producers who are prepared to use IMM to launch new products - including Augsburg based Müller Möbelfabrikation. Perhaps most eye catching of Müller

new at (smow): Müller Möbelfabrikation

As you know we here at smow(blog) aren't fans of complicated designer furniture. Really aren't. Less is more - so the grand theologian of post-war European design Dieter Rams - and let form follow function. That's us. A side table or bedside unit need, normally, do nothing more than support a cup, glass or magazine. Now you could add numerous extras to your table or you could - as with Müller Möbelfabrikation - bend some steel into the shape you want. In 1926 Mart Stam bent some steel
