From the tobacco pipe to shovel diggers for children, tool measuring machines and TVs, to highly complex dental workstations – over the last thirty years we have gathered a lot of experience in product development, engaging intensively in a wide range of industries. To streamline our process, over the course of time we were faced with the question of specialization. We chose to place the focus of our design talent on products that offer us scope for technical innovations as well as the opportunity for patentable developments. With our first product in the office chair sector, the Tensa for König + Neurath in 1998, we made a spontaneous breakthrough in this segment. To this day we still see this as our focus.
