smow Blog Interview: Nadja Schulze - My goal is to always break down my designs so that they are easy to understand for all

...Born and raised in Leipzig, Nadja Schulze completed her Bachelor in Innenarchitektur at Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle in the spring of 2023, before beginning an Interior Architecture Master's at the Burg in the autumn of 2023, a Master's in the course of which three lamps, three lamp families, arose, LiLa, Bow and 360°: the lattermost, wall lamps that you turn like an olde worlde telephone dial and as you do the cable rolls in and out thereby providing for both cable storage and a graphic element; the middlemost a flexible, positionable, wall lamp inspired by, and constructed from, tent poles; the foremost Lightweight Lamps, a modular lighting system inspired by tent poles, developed from Bow, that can exist as a wall, floor or ceiling version, and can not only be extended or reduced as a wall, floor or ceiling version, but switched between a wall, floor or ceiling version...

Stühle zum (Be)Sitzen, a smow Pop-up at the Grassi Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Leipzig

...Stühle zum (Be)Sitzen's brief tour through the (hi)story of chair design in western Europe ends with Harry Thaler's 2011 Pressed Chair through Nils Holger Moormann, a chair that as Harry once told us began as "a small fork made from one piece of wood", became a desire to create a chair in one material, and which through the choice of pressed aluminium not only neatly translates the moulded plywood of, for example, Arne Jacobsen, Aino and Alvar Aalto or Charles and Ray Eames into metal, but reminds that the plastic shell of the RAR that rocks next to the Pressed Chair in Stühle zum (Be)Sitzen began life as pressed steel, before that was deemed too expensive and the, then, novel fibreglass was used... And a Pressed Chair produced by Nils Holger Moormann, a manufacturer, a furniture publishing house, who arose from the ferment of 1980s Neue Deutsche Design, that questioning, challenging, provoking and polarising of and with furniture design and relationships to furniture of that period, by the eponymous Nils Holger Moormann who as a designer took the impulses and experiences of Neue Deutsche Design and began developing furniture that for all it appears very far removed from the brashness, insolence, humour, questioning, challenging, provoking and polarising of the 1980s, is but an alterative expression of that brashness, insolence, humour, questioning, challenging, provoking and polarising...

Nils Holger Moormann presents Salone di Aschau 2024

...Amongst the European designer furniture publishers Nils Holger Moormann has long stood out from the crowd, and that primarily because Nils Holger Moormann has never sought the crowd, has always done Nils Holger Moormann's thing, not the crowd's thing, and who in doing such has very much, and very justifiably, attracted a crowd lot of individuals... Thus while other furniture publishers dance to the tune of the international trade fair crowd, Nils Holger Moormann organise their own trade fair...
