Modern art of the 20th and 21st centuries deserves an appropriate setting, with a building and its furniture that is just as modern. Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton were thus faced with an exciting challenge when asked to design the Museum Brandhorst in Munich. Three different seating solutions were developed for the museum, which opened in 2009 – for the cafeteria, the foyer, the conference and lecture rooms as well as the lounge. ClassiCon developed the designs to the point of series production in close collaboration with the architects. Along with demanding expectations in terms of form and quality, the typical wear and tear that the furniture would be subjected to in the public space had also to be taken into considerati- on. Its durability was ensured by means of various tests.
An integrated planning approach that – from urban development to furniture design – combines functionality with a high architectural standard, sensuality and environmental sustainability: this is the trademark of Sauerbruch Hutton. Since 1989, the couple and their office have represented extraordinary, award-winning work.
