The ClassiCon building in Munich<br />

If we were to go off in search of the ideal place where future and past can meet<br />

in order to communicate about the present, the ClassiCon building in Munich<br />

would be one of our fi rst choices. Th e modern building, designed by Joachim<br />

Jürke, is made of glass, concrete and wood and features a rooft op terrace with a<br />

magnifi cent panoramic view of the Alps. Th e company headquarters, including<br />

offi ces, warehouse and showrooms, have been located here since 2003 – a place<br />

Modern design with a timeless aesthetic<br />

ClassiCon and tomorrow’s classics<br />

Th e ClassiCon brand stands for quality, individuality and a timeless aesthetic –<br />

regardless of passing fashions. From the outset, we have aspired not only to off er<br />

pieces by established fi gures such as Eileen Gray and Eckart Muthesius, but also to<br />

foster contemporary design and present selected examples in our programme.<br />

Th at’s why ClassiCon has always been open to new design ideas that display<br />

the kind of quality and advanced form that can measure up to our classics. More<br />

important than the degree of fame achieved by the designer is a demonstrated<br />

fascination with new formal concepts and an enthusiasm for functional reinterpretation.<br />

Th is focus helps ClassiCon to continually discover exciting young<br />

designers, who oft en bring their fi rst products to market with us before rising to<br />

international prominence. We enjoy this kind of mutually benefi cial<br />

collaboration with designers including Konstantin Grcic, Alfredo Häberli,<br />

Pearson Lloyd, E. Barber + J. Osgerby and Sauerbruch Hutton.


True quality stands the test of time<br />

ClassiCon and value that lasts for generations<br />

Our modern classics are collector’s items − not only the masterpieces of<br />

yesterday, but of tomorrow as well. We aim above all to produce individual<br />

pieces of great originality and formal perfection – products that in decades<br />

to come will still be every bit as exceptional, suitable and up-to-date as the<br />

day they left the drawing board. Displaying the kind of value that lasts, these<br />

pieces are destined to become coveted investments for future generations.<br />

Responsibility for masterful designs<br />

The <strong>Classic</strong> Collection by ClassiCon<br />

ClassiCon produces and markets Eileen Gray designs under licence from Th e World Licence<br />

Holder Aram <strong>Design</strong>s Ltd., London. In the 1970s Eileen Gray began working with Zeev<br />

Aram to put her furniture, rugs and lamps into series production. In 1975 she granted the<br />

worldwide rights to manufacture and distribute her designs to Aram <strong>Design</strong>s Ltd., London.<br />

We pay respect to the historical signifi cance of these design classics by producing them in<br />

fi rst-class quality, absolutely true to the originals. As testament to their quality, each piece<br />

of furniture in our <strong>Classic</strong> Collection is indelibly marked and numbered consecutively.<br />

Th e ClassiCon signature provides a guarantee that only high-grade materials and methods<br />

are used in production – meeting all ecological requirements – and that every piece of<br />

furniture has passed strict quality controls. Our logo off ers the assurance that each product<br />

is authentic to the original, made with the consent and supervision of the rights holders.<br />

At home anywhere<br />

Living and working with ClassiCon<br />

Whether exercising our creative muscles or relaxing, kicking back or<br />

communicating, enjoying leisure time or working – today, areas that<br />

were once separate are increasingly converging. And so it is only natural<br />

that ClassiCon products feel just as at home in the living room as they<br />

do in the offi ce, dining room or conference room.<br />

Eileen Gray, 1878 – 1976<br />

Authorised by The World Licence Holder Aram <strong>Design</strong>s Ltd., London<br />

From an aristocratic Irish-Scottish background, Eileen Gray studied architecture<br />

and design in London and Paris. She fi rst made a name for herself as a leading<br />

designer of lacquered walls and decorative panels. Later, with her theories<br />

on design and architecture, she left an indelible mark on our ideas about living.<br />

Thirty years after her death, she is still regarded as the epitome of the Modern<br />

and she is the only woman whose name is spoken in the same breath as<br />

those of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer. Gray’s tubular<br />

steel furniture, revolutionary in its day, is now regarded as a classic. The high<br />

point of her career was her appointment to the Royal Society of Art in<br />

London in 1972 as Royal <strong>Design</strong>er to Industry. The Museum of Modern Art<br />

in New York added her legendary Adjustable Table E 1027 to its permanent<br />

design collection in 1978.<br />

In the 1970s Eileen Gray began working with Zeev Aram to put her furniture<br />

and lamps into series production. In 1975 she granted the worldwide rights to<br />

manufacture and distribute her designs to Aram <strong>Design</strong>s Ltd., London.<br />

Otto Blümel, 1881 – 1973<br />

Born in Augsburg, Otto Blümel studied architecture at the Technical University<br />

of Munich and then took up painting. From 1907 to 1914 he was director<br />

of the design department at the United Workshops for Art in Craftsmanship<br />

in Munich, a pioneering force in the interior design and decoration of the era.<br />

Otto Blümel’s most famous design is the Nymphenburg Coat Rack of 1908,<br />

which has been preserved in the archives of the United Workshops. Blümel<br />

was named an honorary citizen of the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and<br />

awarded the Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.<br />

Nymphenburg<br />

Eckart Muthesius, 1904 – 1989<br />

Following studies at the Associated State School for Applied Arts in Berlin<br />

and the London Polytechnic, Eckart Muthesius became a master student<br />

in the studio of his father, Hermann Eckart Muthesius, the founder of the<br />

German Werkbund. In 1929, Eckart Muthesius met Prince Yeshwant Rao<br />

Holkar Bahadur in Oxford, the later Maharajah of Indore, who commissioned<br />

him to build and furnish his palace “Manik Bagh”. Completed four years<br />

later, the palace was a masterpiece of the Art Deco style. Eckart Muthesius<br />

complemented his architecture with his own furniture and lamp designs.<br />

He went on to take up a post as head of the Board of Planning and Restoration<br />

of the State of Indore from 1936 to1939. When the war broke out,<br />

he was forced to fl ee India and returned to Berlin, where he worked as a<br />

freelance architect.<br />

Konstantin Grcic, 1965<br />

Konstantin Grcic was born in 1965 in Munich. Following training as cabinetmaker<br />

at Parnham College in England, he studied design at the Royal College<br />

of Art in London from 1988 to 1990. Since setting up his own design studio in<br />

Munich in 1991, he has developed furniture, products and lighting for brands<br />

such as Authentics, Driade, Flos, Iittala, Magis, Moormann, Moroso, Muji,<br />

Plank, Nespresso and Vitra, and indeed many of his products have won<br />

international design awards.<br />

His Mayday lamp, produced by Flos, was added to the permanent collection<br />

of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and won the prestigious Compasso<br />

d’Oro in 2001, as did his design Myto in 2011. Since 2007 Konstantin Grcic<br />

has been named <strong>Design</strong>er of the Year several times by various institutions.<br />

His book “KGID Konstantin Grcic Industrial <strong>Design</strong>” was published by Phaidon<br />

in 2006.<br />

Edward Barber und Jay Osgerby, 1969<br />

This duo met while studying at the Royal College of Art in London and<br />

started collaborating during their studies. They founded their E. Barber +<br />

J. Osgerby design studio in 1996, and their fi rst piece, “Loop Table”, was<br />

shown in 1998 in Milan by Cappellini. This initial design and the later “Flight<br />

Stool” are today part of the permanent collections of both the Metropolitan<br />

Museum of Art in New York and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.<br />

E. Barber + J. Osgerby create pieces for the collections of companies<br />

including Magis, Authentics, Cappellini, Venini and Isokon Plus. In addition<br />

to receiving numerable international honours for their work, they were<br />

nominated for the Compasso d’Oro in 2004 and named <strong>Design</strong>ers of the<br />

Year by Blueprint magazine in 2005.<br />

Paris, Saturn<br />

For Use, 1973, 1968, 1971<br />

The three designers making up the For Use trio come from widely divergent<br />

backgrounds: Sven Jonke was born in 1973 in Bremen, Christoph Katzler<br />

in 1968 in Vienna and Nikola Radeljkovic in 1971 in Zagreb. Nikola Radeljkovic<br />

and Sven Jonke studied design at the University of Architecture in Zagreb,<br />

while Christoph Katzler received his degree from the University of Applied<br />

Arts in Vienna. In 1998 the three joined forces under the name “For Use”.<br />

Their interdisciplinary approach encompasses the fi elds of architecture,<br />

industrial design, lighting, furniture and street furniture. Besides ClassiCon,<br />

their clients include Cappellini, Magis and Zanotta.<br />

later incarnation, designafairs GmbH. He opened his own design studio in<br />

2000 in Inning am Ammersee. As a leading member of many academies<br />

and institutions, he has made a lasting contribution to promoting German<br />

design. His dedication was recognised in 2001 when he received the<br />

Federal <strong>Design</strong> Promotion Award and also the Cross of the Order of Merit<br />

of the Federal Republic of Germany.<br />

Sauerbruch Hutton, Louisa Hutton 1957, Matthias Sauerbruch 1955<br />

Louisa Hutton and Matthias Sauerbruch studied at the Architectural Association<br />

of London. From 1995 to 2007 Matthias Sauerbruch held professorships at<br />

the Technical University of Berlin and the State Academy of Art and <strong>Design</strong>,<br />

Stuttgart. Both have been teaching at the Harvard Graduate School of <strong>Design</strong><br />

since 2007. Louisa Hutton and Matthias Sauerbruch have developed a<br />

signature architectural language that has brought the Sauerbruch Hutton<br />

studio international recognition since its founding in 1989. A holistic approach<br />

to planning, from urban development all the way down to furniture design,<br />

merges functionality with exacting architectural demands, sensuality with<br />

environmental sustainability. Sauerbruch Hutton’s projects, among them the<br />

Federal Environmental Agency in Dessau (2005) and the Brandhorst Museum<br />

in Munich (2008), have been awarded numerous prizes. Their fi rst highrise,<br />

the GSW Headquarters in Berlin (1999), became part of the architecture<br />

collection of the MoMA in New York in 2009.<br />

Handmade in Germany<br />

ClassiCon and a passion for craft<br />

Our furniture is not machine-made in series, but rather passes through the hands of<br />

many experienced craft speople. All of them are specialists in working with materials<br />

such as wood, glass or metal, or in the fi elds of upholstery, painting or fi nishing.<br />

Th eir experience with material selection and processing ensures long-lasting products<br />

whose aesthetics stand the test of time as they age in dignity and maintain their usefulness<br />

for decades. Th ese objects are the perfect counterweight to today’s throwaway<br />

mentality, helping to ease the burden on the environment.<br />

As a family enterprise, ClassiCon works primarily with small to medium-sized, mostly<br />

owner-operated businesses. Almost all of them are in Germany, many even in the immediate<br />

vicinity of Munich. Our products thus benefi t from the close collaboration between<br />

the designers, our developers and suppliers. Th anks to these ongoing working relationships<br />

and our mostly small-scale production, we are able to off er individual variants of our<br />

contemporary furniture for larger quantities.<br />

Behind every successful product there are some dedicated people<br />

The team at ClassiCon in Munich<br />

Each product by ClassiCon is the result of a great many ideas and long hours of devoted<br />

workmanship. A piece passes through several diff erent stations on its way from design sketch<br />

to end customer. Along the way, it is accompanied by many diff erent people before it sets off<br />

for one of around 52 countries worldwide. Every member of our team is important to us. And<br />

each of them is proud to play a part in ensuring that the highest-quality, most exceptional<br />

furniture available today comes from ClassiCon.
