Parking Systems by Wöhr Make the Most of Every Last Inch of Space

The Parksafe 582 vertical lift serves two parking grids, each with up to 30 levels arranged as a tower. Ramps and traffic aisles are superfluous

When the first ‘modern automobile’ was introduced to the world, it was the year 1886.

The Lateral Thinker

Slotted into place: the "Siebenschläfer" bed is a totally metal-free construction

Anyone who visits Nils Holger Moormann at his company headquarters in Aschau at the foot of Kampenwand Mountain near Chiemsee is immediately plunged deep into his world. Three flags at the entrance, printed with outrageous misspellings of his name (such as “Motorman”), point to a generous helping of humour and self-mockery. Moormann has been producing […] Sigue leyendo

Magic Wands: LDM luminaires reveal the poetry inherent in clear geometric solids

Elegant: the high-gloss finish gives the elliptical modules of the "Cosmo" series a very upscale look. In the "Grande Uno" version they are interlinked to create a luminaire with a length of 71.5 cm
