Please welcome two new products that we designed for Danish brand Gejst - our wall shelf NIVO and the cutting board GALET with ceramic bowls.
NAMU
Produced by Böwer
, 2010-2015
Namu is a table series consisting of a coffee table and a side table. The shape of the table is based on the appearance of a tree, and thereby refers to the material timber in a logical and honest way. The central base, the roots, are made of three identical laminated veneer elements which are joined mid-way to form a trunk. At the top the elements open up again to support the table top. The design of the Namu tables combines light appearance and high stability.
Coffee table H730, Ø800mm
Lounge table H540, Ø620mm
Winner of the red dot design award 2011.

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.
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, Böwer, freistil by ROLF BENZ, Gejst, Johanson, Mater, Normann Copenhagen, Prostoria, RIG-TIG, Schönbuch, Vertigo Bird, WON and Zero.

Their projects have been published in books and magazines around the world.
