Tagedieb

With furniture designs such as the bed Siebenschläfer or the shelving system FNP the manufacturer Nils Holger Moormann has established a portfolio which is characterized by minimalist design and functional, innovative design ideas. Moormann furniture offers intelligent design solutions and can generally be assembled without tools: characteristics also applicable to the bed Tagedieb from Carmen Buttjer which Moormann added to their programme in 2013. Tagedieb is constructed with the help of four bracket clamps, which are color-matched to the Tagedieb bed, and attached at the corners. The optional Tagedieb headboard can be mounted either vertically or inclined and just as with the height adjustable mattress support, perfectly responds to the Moormann's concept of flexibility.

Designer

Born in 1988 near Cologne, Carmen Buttjer is one of the youngest designers in the Moormann roster and indeed she only graduated in 2013, the same year in which her bed Tagedieb was added to the Nils Holger Moormann programme. During her studies in Kassel Carmen Buttjer gained practical experience as an intern with the Berlin based designer Judith Seng . The focus of Carmen Buttjer's work is less a form that is based on purely functional aspects, but rather with the interaction between man and object. Formal decisions are therefore always made with regard to questions of identity and emotion of the people.

The elements of the Tagedieb bed are assembled and fixed by steel brackets.

Production

The production of Nils Holger Moormann furniture is carried out by smaller and medium sized companies, largely based the company headquarters in Aschau and who frequently have collaborated with which Moormann for many years. Thus Moormann actively promotes regional structures and integrates the expertise of different professions into the production processes. In many cases, the suppliers are also involved in the development of the first prototypes, working together with the designers on questions of how to best implement the designs for serial production. The choice of materials is based on the practicability and on questions of environmental responsibility. Moormann works primarily with natural, sustainable materials. All woods, for example, are FSC certified and come from sustainably managed European forests. The Tagedieb is produced in two variants, white and black birch plywood with clips of powdered steel. A slatted frame and headboard are optionally available.

Manufacturer

Nils Holger Moormann originally studied law; however, at the beginning of the 1980s he quit his studies to focus instead on producing furniture designs by young, still unknown designers. Over the years Moormann has grown to become one of the most successful companies in the industry: a position largely achieved thanks to the clean lines and unique features of the company's portfolio, such as the regional focus and targeted promotion of young talent. Established in 1992 in Aschau im Chiemgau Nils Holger Moormann also operate a hotel which mixes the charm of Moormann furniture with an organic lifestyle. Featuring almost exclusively with Moormann furniture Berge offers Alpine views, green electricity and organic products and is not only a relaxing holiday destination, but also provides a good insight into Moormann's world - and is an excellent location in which to test Tagedieb.
