Demonstration item for materials makers, refined object for presentation purposes or a recipe for everyday life – at the moment, kitchens have as many purposes as they have appearances.

In 2003 the Kram/Weisshaar office (the one an IT experts, the other a product designer) joined up with Stylepark on a project: a table was designed using a special software. The designers developed the software which, under certain parameters, generates a model of the Breeding Table, or rather the patterns for a CNC mill that then makes the table.

German furniture maker ClassiCon has an unmistakable feel for the right timeless design. The company has set itself the task not of pinpointing fashionable trends and styles, but rather designs that outlast current trends and win people over with their timeless quality.

They overcome the limits of classical product design: Reed Kram, 35, and Clemens Weisshaar, 29. Both first hit the limelight with their work for Rem Koolhaas: The handled the media design (and interactive changing rooms) for the US Prada flagship store designed by Koolhaas' office AMO.

The Kram Weisshaar office has designed a limited edition for porcelain manufacturer, Nymphenburg.
