We are happy to announce that LIGRE siji received the German Design Award Gold 2025 in the category Excellent Product Design – Kitchen.
We are honored to announce that one of our first J*GAST Kitchen Prototypes is now exhibited at the Pinakothek der Moderne. This prestigious venue is home to the Neue Sammlung, one of the world’s leading design museums, celebrated for its comprehensive collection of 20th and 21st-century design artifacts. The exhibition ‘Kitchen Culture’ not only features our J*GAST prototype but also showcases pivotal kitchen solutions that have shaped modern living spaces. Noteworthy among these is the iconic Frankfurter Kitchen, which revolutionized home efficiency in the early 20th century, and the Functionalist architecture of the Unité d’habitation’s kitchen by Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand, and André Wogenscky. Arne Jacobsen’s contributions are also highlighted, featuring his kitchen design for a detached house at the 1957 International Building Exhibition in Berlin, which emphasized central spatial solutions in residential architecture. By placing J*GAST alongside such significant historical innovations like Stefan Wewerka’s Kitchen Tree and Herbert H. Schultes’s workbench model, which reimagine kitchen spaces with modern irony and functionality, the exhibition highlights the ongoing evolution and cultural impact of kitchen design throughout the last century.
Erlkönig Pattern: Wiegand von Hartmann
Exhibition Design: OHA International
Jury Statement: “Ana Relvão and Gerhardt Kellermann have expanded their collection with two extraordinary pieces of upholstered furniture: the yay chair, a compact upholstered chair with an original backrest, and the ohh seating family, based on a compact, upholstered seat shell. The radical design of the yay chair, a real statement piece, draws all eyes through its presence alone. By contrast, the ohh family is discreet and reserved, with a compact, upholstered seat shell. This versatile seating family can be used in a range of different settings and also looks harmonious when combined.”
“The session on 03.12. entitled “simple (not simplistic!)” will invite participants to reexamine their approach and explore the underlying questions that define meaningful design. Attendees are encouraged to challenge conventional ideas, ask questions, and engage in a conversation that goes beyond a standard lecture format. Bring your insights and questions: let’s talk.”
Moderation: Prof. Markus Frenzl

Amid this year’s Munich Creative Business Week with the theme “How to co-create with nature,” CRAFT FORWARD II explores the possibilities between archaic materials and forward-looking technologies in its second edition. The joint exhibition by J*GAST, karuun®, TYP®—initiated by Meiré and Meiré—explores new paths in design. The focus is on the originality of natural raw materials and textures, which are reinterpreted in entirely new ways through innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence.
As part of this, author Andrian Kreye presented his book “The Spirit from the Machine,” forming the starting point for the subsequent panel talk with the protagonists from J*GAST (Office Heinzelmann Ayadi, Relvaokellermann & Holzrausch), karuun®, TYP®, and Mike Meiré.
Celebrating the best in design across the world. The Monocle Design Awards honour the people, products and places that are enhancing lives. J*GAST was awarded with best in the kitchen 2024.
During the Salone de Mobile, the German Design Council facilitated a talk where Stefan Diez and Ana Relvão engaged with Pere Llonch, CEO of Vibia Lighting, and CMO Judith Patiño.

As longtime art directors of gumpo, we’ve consistently seen our designs achieve high recognition, highlighted by the gumpo pony’s IF Design Gold Award win in 2023. This tradition continues with the PIPO table system. We are excited to present it and other innovations at this year’s Orgatec.
Following the LIGRE youn portafilter espresso machine’s honor with the IF Design Gold Award 2023, we are pleased to announce that the accompanying grinder, the recently introduced LIGRE siji, has received recognition in this year’s IF Design Awards. This acknowledgment underscores our commitment to seamless design and quality.
A special thank you to Oliver Jahn, Mike Meiré, Kolja Pitz for the engaging and thought-provoking discussion at the CRAFT FORWARD event. We appreciate the presence and participation of everyone who attended.

Statement of the jury:
The innovative ‘J*GAST’ kitchen system enables a creative combination of flush and surface-mounted fronts. An interesting system for more individuality in kitchen design
Ana Relvão and Andreas Enslin, Vice President Miele Design Centre, shared insights on innovation in design at Area30. The talk highlighted challenges, solutions, and the dynamic future of product design.
We’re honored to be included among the top 100 design studios in the iF DESIGN RANKING from 2019 to 2023. We deeply appreciate the recognition our work!
In collaboration with iF Design, WDO hosted a panel exploring the topic of Creative Responsibility: Why we still need designers in the age of AI on 14 May 2023. The event brought together designers and design theorists from in and around Berlin for a conversation around the possibilities of AI and what this new era means for design and the work of the designer.
IF Gold statement: The LIGRE coffeemaker evinces both high-end craftmanship and bespoke material selection in every detail. It departs radically from the dominant archetypes of coffee machines, emphasizing the sense of ritual inherent in preparing coffee. In every sense an icon.
IF Gold statement: The Pony is an ingenious desk and stool combo designed for flexible collaborative spaces. With its playful use of curved forms and soft colors, it provides a relaxing and casual seating arrangement while pushing the boundaries of plywood design.
We’re very happy to see Samsung’s BESPOKE Infinite Line Package being awarded with the iF DESIGN Gold Award 2023! Congratulations to Samsung’s Design Team! We at RELVĀOKELLERMANN are proud to have contributed a little with the Infinite Line Oven.
IF Gold statement: The Bespoke Infinite Line Package integrates architectural style with sophisticated details and sublime proportions, elevating a simple and functional design through honest and appealing materials. Demonstrating that great design can turn home appliances into lifestyle objects.
Statement of the jury: The »LIGRE Otu« portafilter espresso machine with its absolutely no-frills clean design language differs strikingly from the traditional design of conventional machines and thus blends harmoniously into the reduced design of many modern kitchens. Despite its purist appearance, the espresso machine leaves nothing to be desired in terms of user-friendliness and functionality, promises superior performance and a long life thanks to its high-quality workmanship. The fact that the portafilter espresso machine is also very energy-efficient is a further advantage. The »LIGRE Otu« portafilter espresso machine challenges familiar, traditional aesthetics and becomes an iconic design statement that confidently points to the future.
Jury statement: J*GAST, the kitchen furniture system developed by Holzrausch, is based on an innovative frame rather than a conventional body construction. This allows for savings of up to 45% in materials and thus valuable resources, minimising its carbon footprint. In addition, the combination of flush and overlapping fronts and the recessed profile create a characteristic joint pattern that makes the kitchen distinctive. It is a great solution that lies between an individual kitchen and a standardised industrial solution, which is also sustainable.
These new built-in ovens add a finishing touch to the most exquisite European kitchen. They can be installed side by side or stacked depending on needs. Satin, a cutting-edge glass, was used for the oven doors. The glass adds to the overall aesthetics and blends seamlessly into the matte exterior of the surrounding kitchen cabinetry. The simple, sleek bar handle gives an understated feel to the flawless look. The matte texture on the haptic knob combined with minimalist controls gives a sense of reliability while providing intuitive control.
The best novelties of each design year are honored with the Stylepark Selected Award. Whether typological and design diversity, innovative and smart or sustainable and aesthetically attractive – the novelties honored by the Stylepark Selected Award jury are united by their outstanding design quality. “
Jury statement: The “pipo” table by Relvãokellermann for gumpo appears solid, but offers maximum flexibility: the structure of rectangular or square top and round legs is surprisingly lightweight, can be assembled without tools, is individually adaptable and can be electrified with concealed cable routing. Thanks to the structure in the core of the top, there is no need for reinforcing metal crossbars and virtually all components are made of wood-based materials. “pipo” can therefore be manufactured in individual sizes according to requirements.
We are really happy and proud that gumpo pony was able to win the 1st price of the AIT Innovation Award Architecture+ Office 2022. Here, you can find the statement of the jury:
Ana Relvão and Gerhardt Kellermann, art directors at gumpo, designed a very likeable piece of furniture that not only captivates with its charm and wit. It also meets all the requirements of the modern workspace: people can sit on it in a variety of ways, and it not only adopts one perspective but can react quickly to different needs – whether in a library, a school, a foyer, at home or in the office. Pony impresses with its material mix of wood and recycled plastic waste, but last but not least, it makes our hearts smile. The jury warmly congratulates on winning the Innovation Award Architecture+ Office 2022!

Happy to see the gumpo pony (left) and Lady Catherine, the real pony on the right, featured on the cover of the Baumeister Magazine.
With 132 experts from all over the world, this year’s edition is the largest iF DESIGN AWARD jury ever. Happy to be one of them again.
The best novelties of each design year are honored with the Stylepark Selected Award. Whether typological and design diversity, innovative and smart or sustainable and aesthetically attractive – the novelties honored by the Stylepark Selected Award jury are united by their outstanding design quality. “
Jury statement: As a natural further development of the successful normcore collection, “pony” picks up on its formal language and yet shows its own character. The fabrics for the seat of “pony” are made from recycled plastic waste – in combination with the high level of in-house production and the focus on wood as a natural material, the design by RelvãoKellermann is conceived as sustainable in its entirety.
The Samsung Infinite Line wins next to the IF Design Award 2020 and IDEA Award 2020, the Kitchen Innovation Award 2021 and Special Award – Best Product.
Gumpo’s normcore collection was awarded once again, this time with the iF Design Award 2020.
All normcore products were specifically designed to be functional, adapted to the office contemporary needs and offer a number of different up-to-date material surfaces. This furniture does not dominate its location. It is laidback, reduced – and fits effortlessly in our time.
Ana Relvão was one of 78 jurors for the iF DESIGN AWARD which was running from the 21st to 23rd of January in Hamburg.
For the second time now, we are part of the Kunstverein Jahresgaben in Munich. The group exhibition is mostly run by Munich artists and reflects the art scene of the city.
Looking forward to your visit from the 7. – 15.12.2019 at the Kunstverein Galeriestraße 4, 80539 München.
We are happy to anounce, that our Normcore collection for gumpo received the German Design Award 2020.
Statement of the jury: “With their clear and function-focused design, these semi-mobile pieces of furniture support a pragmatic and minimalist interior style. The fact that these objects nevertheless achieve a highly modern, elegant and high-quality appearance only makes them the more attractive.”
Our 2 nominated product called saia, we designed for Gumpo project have made it onto the Dezeen’s longlist under Workspace Design.

FUTUROLETTES – By the time Futuro Haus was designed, Adidas created their iconic Adilettes for the German Nacional Team. For the celebration of Futuro’s 50 anniversary we reinterpreted the Adilette and designed house shoes made out of fiber glass textile, the same material Futuro is made of.
In 1968, the prototype of the FUTURO house is completed in the small Finnish plant Polykem. Already in the autumn of the same year, the house will be presented at the Finnfokus trade fair in London, extremely prominently high on the deck of a ship on the Thames.
The international response could not have been better. It was the starting signal for one of the most unusual mobile living spaces, which even today, fifty years later, is still visionary (and spectacular) in its perception.
The New Collection – The Design Museum celebrates the 50th anniversary of the FUTURO-Haus on 21.06.2018 with a special party.
For this Munich designers, artists, musicians were asked for a napkin sketch – a greeting model – a birthday serenade – a jubilee poem – a space-futuristic donation – a live homage … that reflects the design / the house / time / its impact. The submissions will be presented this evening.

GRIFFWERK entwickelt neue Glastürbeschläge | Design: Studio Relvão Kellermann
Schlicht, grafisch reduziert und an typographische Zeichen erinnernd: Der Beschlaghersteller GRIFFWERK hat vier neue Griffe für Ganzglastüren entwickelt. Das Design ist in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Münchener Studio Relvão Kellermann entstanden und nutzte gewonnenen Gestaltungsfreiraum, der durch eine neue Befestigungstechnik entstand.
Möglich machte den innovativen Designansatz eine vereinfachte Montagetechnik: Dank sogenanntem Sensa-System kann GRIFFWERK Beschläge durch Klemm- und Klebetechnik befestigen und auf Glasbohrung verzichten. Eine schmale Verbundfläche genügt. Mit dem Anliegen, die dadurch entstehenden, formalen Möglichkeiten auszuloten hat GRIFFWERK das Münchner Designstudio Relvão Kellermann beauftragt. „Es war für uns eine Herausforderung, einen eigenständigen Ansatz für eine der häufigsten und ‚bereits gesehenen’ Industrieformen auf dem Markt zu finden“, beschreibt Gerhardt Kellermann den Entwicklungsprozess. Zunächst war es beiden Designern wichtig, den Hintergrund des Unternehmens GRIFFWERK und dessen Vorgehensweise zu verstehen. Beim ersten Treffen in Blaustein hat das Design-Duo daher die nahegelegene Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm (HfG Ulm) besucht. Mit deren Designkonzepten befasste sich GRIFFWERK bereits intensiv anlässlich der Reedition des Ulmer Griffs, der von Max Bill seinerzeit für die HFG Ulm entworfen wurde. Inspiriert von den Ansätzen der „Ulmer Schule“ entwickelten die Münchner ein Rastersystem, von dem sich alle Griffprofile ableiten ließen. Darin ordneten sie einfache Geometrien, Winkel und Radien an, die der Konstruktion der Profilformen dienten. „Es war eine interessante, formale Vorgehensweise, die zu sehr unterschiedlichen Entwürfen führte, die dennoch alle in einem Bezug zueinander stehen“, resümiert Ana Relvão.
Konsequent einfach resultiert die Gestaltung der Griffleiste PLANEO AIR: Sie besteht aus nicht mehr als einer feinen, rechteckigen Grundform und wirkt geradezu ikonenhaft einfach auf der Glasfläche. Nicht mehr als eine schwarze Linie präsentiert sich dem Nutzer. Dennoch leistet der Beschlag alle Funktionen. Griffleiste PLANEO AIR erhielt 2017 – zusammen mit dem in Blaustein entwickelten Schiebetürsystem PLANEO AIR – einen Red Dot Award für Produktdesign.
Auch das Beschlagsystem Lucia mit Handhaben in klassischem Rundprofilwurde um eine neue Griffstange ergänzt. Der Verbund zur Glasfläche ließ sich über eine schmale Grundfläche lösen. Diese führt beinahe übergangslos bis zur Handhabe und ersetzt bisher notwendige, massiven Stützen aus Rundrohr, die Bohrlöcher abdeckten. Die neue Griffstange im mattem Graphitschwarz wirkt nun filigraner und eleganter.
Zwei weitere Griffformen erinnern ebenfalls an typografische Zeichen und sind ebenso durch das definierte Rastersystem entstanden. Um mehr Leichtigkeit und Eleganz zu erreichen, verjüngen sich die Kanten der Profile serifenartig und lehnen sich dabei an Formprinzipien der Schriftgestaltung. Während Serifen in der Typografie der besseren Lesbarkeit dienen stehen sie bei Türbeschlägen auch im Dienste der verbesserten Funktionalität. Auf der Glasfläche wirken die Griffleisten maximal reduziert und muten wie schlichte, kompakte, grafische Linien an. Die funktionale Qualität durch die differenziert ausgestaltete Form entpuppt sich bei der Nutzung.
GRIFFWERK ist über den Fachhandel erhältlich.

“It’s relatively rare that we scout an emerging design brand at Maison, but UTIL — a new brand with editions by emerging designers, manufactured in Portugal — was a nice surprise. We especially love the solid ash stool by Geckeler Michels as well as the carafe by Relvão Kellermann, and the fruit bowl, Kite lamp, and minibar by Manuel Amaral Netto.”

It’s no news for anyone my love for sunglasses.
My main hobby might be to spend hours on ebay looking for vintage sunglasses for my personal collection. It’s a never ending story, I tell you.
Last year found a great eyeware manufacture in the north of Portugal. They are the last handmade factory in the Iberian Peninsula.
Their quality is i-n-s-a-n-e.
Their know-how is i-n-s-a-n-e.
Got to make something with them.
