Das ganze Leben

Das ganze Leben is a South Tyrolean furniture brand from Bruneck (Bruneck/Brunico, Province of Bolzano, South Tyrol), founded by carpenters Georg Agostini and Lorenz Sternbach after both had merged their respective carpentry businesses. Agostini has been a carpenter since his training and is responsible for production; Sternbach, after completing his Abitur and abandoning a university course, completed his carpentry apprenticeship, obtained his journeyman's certificate, worked as a carpenter for several years and subsequently completed a two-year course in design and furniture construction in Austria — he manages the showroom in Bruneck and sales. The brand name Das ganze Leben (The Whole Life) is programmatic: the furniture is intended to accompany all life phases and situations, to be taken along when moving and extended again and again. The company is deeply rooted in the alpine landscape — closeness to the forest, sensitivity for resources and sustainable use of wood are self-evident foundations of carpentry craft in this region.

Design philosophy and range: Das ganze Leben produces multifunctional, modular furniture with a reduced formal language that can adapt to changing living situations and floor plans. The product programme bridges traditional craftsmanship and urban lifestyle. Materials: predominantly birch plywood (natural birch), characteristic of the simple, sustainable aesthetics of the house. Range on Archiproducts: kitchens (EVA — modular linear kitchen in birch plywood; EMMA — mini-kitchen in birch plywood), tables, stools, benches, sofas, writing desks, shelving, wall cabinets, chests of drawers, beds, children's furniture, bathroom furniture sets. All furniture is produced with high quality and durability — the company regards its approach as more economically sustainable than lower-priced furniture with a short lifespan. Location: Bruneck (BZ), South Tyrol / Italy.

For architects and interior designers seeking a craft-produced, modular furniture programme with alpine material honesty and a consistent sustainability approach, suitable equally for living, office and children's spaces, Das ganze Leben is the most personal South Tyrolean address — a two-person craft studio that designs its furniture to last a whole life.
