Designer Jörg Boner has teamed up with COR to develop the new upholstery series “Nenou” that will debut in Milan. Just before the launch, a few final decisions needed to be taken. A Making-of.

Light + Building clearly showed that light is becoming ever more digital and offers tools for emotions of all kinds. Among the mass of novelties, you could notice that good light is getting ever more rare.

Jörg Boner designed the “Stylepark Café” and the “Stylepark Architects’ Lounge” in Hall 1.2 at the Light + Building – an ideal meeting point at the trade fair.

Ewo, a company in Northern Italy, teamed up with Jörg Boner to develop the “GO” luminaire series. Sandra Hofmeister spoke to the Ewo Head of Marketing Hannes Wohlgemuth about the collaboration.

Jörg Boner’s product stagings and installations often refer to specific places and thanks to the mood they create remain lodged in the mind.

“…The ground has our utmost attention…”

What emerged at the imm Cologne in 2011 was that the fair has steadied, and in the form of "Living Kitchen" and "Pure Textiles" has gained two important new areas. Thus, the Cologne hodge-podge of the diversity of homes has something for everyone, for a man of the world, a man of the masses, and for kids, too. That said, the high-end design did not live up to expectations.

After three years spent on development the plywood chair "Wogg 50" is to be presented as a serial-produced item at the upcoming imm in cologne. Sandra Hofmeister spoke to Jörg Boner about his design methods, the special qualities of molded plywood and the sense and purpose of furniture families.

In mid-August, the Swiss Pfister furniture store launched the Atelier Pfister Collection. Thirteen design studios, curated by Alfredo Häberli, designed more than 120 pieces of furniture and accessories for the Collection. The goal has been clearly defined: High quality based on sound craftsmanship and timeless design.

The company Wogg focuses consistently on continuity and new technologies. Sandra Hofmeister talks to Mark Werder, manager of the Swiss furniture company, about roll-front systems, precision perfection and the playful use with unusual materials.

He started his career in a team, has been self-employed for the last five years but enjoys working on development projects as part of a group, for a change. The Alma light, for example, is the result of a joint venture with Swiss fashion designer, Lela Scherrer and product designer Christan Deuber.
