Over 40 Years "Joy of living"!
In 1981 Jürgen and Peter wanted to furnish their student flat. Their enthusiastic passion for design
furniture was a lot bigger than their budget. And there was no tasteful and affordable furniture to
be found. „Let‘s build our own furniture and sell it in our shop.“ - The business idea was born.
They entered and developed a new market segment: joyful and individual furnishing design
at reasonable prices.
