142

Produced by freistil Rolf Benz, 2021

Extremely comfortable – no matter how you twist and turn it. If you like to sink deep into soft cushions, you‘ve come to the right place. With the freistil142, you can comfortably position yourself for everything that life has to offer thanks to the modular system and its versatile combinations: Corners and edges, loud and quiet sounds, dreams, and reality. Just like you, the sofa cannot be pinned down into any one shape. Make yourself comfortable on your freistil142, sitting or lying down. And to make sure your snacks are within reach from any position, why not add our freistil188 table to the mix? With the freistil142 you put an ever-changing rebel with a soft heart in your living room. All elements are available in several sizes and fabrics.

Studio

Design means everyday culture. It helps us to enjoy and simplify life. We are fascinated by the process that starts with an idea, becomes substance and hopefully results in a long and pleasurable use for its qualities. That’s how we understand reasonability and sustainability.

Moritz Böttcher and Nikolaus Kayser

Böttcher & Kayser is a Berlin-based studio working in the fields of consumer product, furniture, lighting and interior design. It was founded in 2007 and is running today by Moritz Böttcher and Nikolaus Kayser. The studio is working with international brands such as Anta, Bolia, Böwer, Conmoto, Freistil by Rolf Benz, Gejst, Johanson, Ligne Roset, Mater, Normann Copenhagen, Northern, Pode, Prostoria, Rig-Tig, Schönbuch, Softline, Stelton, Vertigo Bird, Wendelbo and Zero. 

While still in their studies they won the iF design award and red dot product design awards. Since founding the studio they were honoured with some of the most prestigious awards, such as several red dot and iF design awards, the Interior Innovation Award and the red dot „best of the best“. Their projects have been published in books and magazines around the world.

Moritz Böttcher (1978) graduated as an industrial designer at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover in cooperation with Dornbracht. He worked at npk industrial design in Hamburg and the Netherlands, Barskidesign in Frankfurt and from 2006 to 2008 for Werner Aisslinger in Berlin.
