Nils Holger Moormann
C001722
The newspaper ‘Welt am Sonntag’ claims: Nils Holger Moormann is like his furniture, his furniture is like him – intelligent, ascetic, humorous and clever. As an autodidact, career changer and free spirit, Nils Holger Moormann has been developing furniture with a reduced design language and precise detail solutions since 1982. In 2020, he put his eponymous company, including the berge guesthouse, into new hands and has since been curious about new things in the formation Nils Holger Moormann Art Direction. Nils Holger Moormann passes on his great passion for good design in numerous juries, as a member of the executive committee of the German Design Council, as a coach for young designers and during a guest professorship at the Kunsthochschule Kassel.

Kurt
Two steel legs are pushed through a table top. The structure is fixed by means of a bar which also contains storage compartments. Radical, functional, simple. An everyday helper with different variations which works both free-standing in the middle of the room and placed against a wall.

Vorstand
Home and office are not the best of friends. Often, one of the two simply takes too much liberty. All the better when a Vorstand (2021) ensures clear order. It creates a space within a space for work-related concentration in the middle of the living environment. After work, the executive board withdraws inconspicuously. The back wall with magnetic pin board on the outside and the secretary in the centre moves effortlessly on castors. The ceiling with integrated, individually controllable lighting creates a sense of space. From pens to books to files, everything has its place here. Devices are charged, cables are stowed away.

Seiltänzer bed
Lightness combined with stability – a true balancing act. Seiltänzer bed (2019) artistically meets this challenge with four filigree steel legs and an almost floating surface area. Connected and fixed with four taut ropes.
-
Schrankone
If a butler is worth his salt, they say the room feels empty when he is present. That’s the way we feel about Schrankone (2018). With an exterior as inconspicuous as possible, the cupboard reveals its true potential in the form of beautiful details and light transparency when opened.
-
La Funsel
La Funsel (2013) is there for everyone: with the matching foot section, La Funsel can be clamped not only to beds but also to tables or shelves. One for all – except for your partner in bed: the focused light of the reading lamp keeps him or her undisturbed in their sleep while you finish reading your favourite book.

Seiltänzer
Seiltänzer (2017) is a table that makes things easy for itself and its housemates – in terms of appearance, assembling and in its adaptability to different formats. It‘s filigree look can be attributed to its slender steel legs, which are connected to the tabletop by a braced rope.
-
Trude
The chest makes a rare appearance. Despite the fact that it is so practical. Therefore we adopted the classic furniture type and reinterpreted it: A filigree line in the form of a rope divides the vertical surfaces. And simultaneously ensures that Trude (2014) retains her tension.
-
Moorless
Is more Moormann less or less Moormann more? With its metal boxes, a round tabletop and a rectangular base, Moorless (2012) allows for almost infinite scope. At right angles or more playful, boxes in different sizes and colours or identical, with or without a tabletop. Magnetic surfaces ensure cohesion.
