"The Nic Chair is my latest high-tech product," WERNER
AISSLINGER, 40, says. The elastic and weather-resistant free swinging
chair is produced with an innovative procedure called "air moulding":
While the synthetic material is injected into the mould, acetone gas
is added simultaneously. "The procedure leaves the seat shell
hollow like bamboo," says Aisslinger, "Therefore, the chair
is both much lighter and more stable." |

"I wanted to put an end to the conformity of the global taste
in furniture enforced by companies which set up gigantic stores everywhere
to sell furniture kits with completely incomprehensible names," RAFAEL
HORZON, 34, says. His furniture store in Berlin Mitte has had only
one single product to offer since 1999: The universal rack called "modern".
It consists of horizontal and vertical MDF boards. "My customers
appreciate the object's unobtrusive presence. It blends in with any
surrounding”. Upon request, the designer will deliver the racks
personally. |

"Bruce" is a trivet which can be adjusted to the size of
the heated area and supports a frying pan as well as an espresso pot
or a noodle pot. CHRISTINE NOGTEV and CHUL
CHEOG, both 40, designed
it in their design office Roomsafari from two pieces of square timber
and a silicone cord. "A useful little aid," says Nogtev, "and
if Bruce isn't needed anymore, you just hang him on the wall." |

In Asia the bicycle rickshaw is an accepted means of transportation that in Europe
people have chuckled over for a long time. But after JENS
IMIG (left), 39, STEFAN
ROTHERT, 41, and BIRGIT SCHLEGEL, 42, redesigned the egg-shaped bicycle
taxi in 2000, more than 500 of these vehicles now transport tourists through
Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam and London: "We wanted to manufacture a recreational
vehicle which pleases the eye and which both driver and passengers take pleasure
in riding." 1 - 2 - 3 |
