Ligre wins IF DESIGN AWARD 2023 GOLD

Ligre wins German Design Award 2023 GOLD
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.
J*GAST wins ICONIC AWARDS 2023 INNOVATIVE INTERIOR, BEST OF BEST
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.
NV8300T & NQ8300T OVENS FOR SAMSUNG WIN IF DESIGN AWARD 2022
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.
gumpo – pipo wins stylepark selected award 2022
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.
gumpo pony wins AIT innovation award 2022
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!

gumpo – Pony wins Stylepark Selected Award 2021
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.

FUTURO HAUS BECOMES 50 YEARS OLD
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.
NEUE TECHNIK FÜHRT ZU NEUEN FORMEN
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.
GRIFFSTANGE PLANEO AIR ERHIELT EINEN RED DOT AWARD
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.
GRIFFSTANGE LUCIA GST KOMPLETTIERT SYSTEM LUCIA
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.
GRIFFLEISTEN SERIF
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.
