Why we sell Bauhaus furniture? Our story begins in the 80s when we disco-vered our love for the Bauhaus furniture. After studying architecture in which the passion for furniture from the Bauhaus era grew steadily, for the first time, it was decided to settle down with furniture from the Bauhaus era. Since we, especially the designs by Le Corbu-sier pledged, our choice was the LC2 series. Unfortunately, however, exceed the price of the furniture that was designed under the as-pect of good design in combination with low production costs for a wide consumer base, our budget by far. The licensed establishments in Germany for many replica furnishings that were designed under the aspects of Bauhaus architecture,

therefore, did not come to us from the shop in question. After we had heard from fellow students of high quality replicas producers from Italy, we decided to learn more about it. So we found producers in Italy that were similar to the Bauhaus furniture with their own furniture already. Producing high qua-lity steel tube furniture in high quality with convenient function not only requires high technical skills, but also an understanding in industrial production for larger quantities. So we decided to cooperate successfully, continuing up to the present time.

After we were represented for many years in southern Germany and Italy with a local bu-siness and showroom, we decided in 2010, when the sale on our online store more and more expanded to relocate to the UK, since better conditions were offered for Internet commerce.
