Metallbude is a German company for metal furniture and accessories — founded in September 2020 by four friends in their thirties: two brothers, a brother-in-law and a friend. Founded in the middle of the pandemic, in Detmold (North Rhine-Westphalia), in the heart of Germany's furniture region. The name "Metallbude" simply stands for what the company does. The four founders started as dreamers longing for self-employment — and built a company with nearly 40 to 50 employees in less than five years. Guiding principle: sustainability through longevity — no fast furniture, no conventional mass production; steel as a material is infinitely recyclable, robust, plastic-free and long-lasting. Packaging: FSC-certified boxes, custom-made for each individual product, with minimal filler material.

Awards: Red Dot Design Award (Aris shelf), Focus Open 2023 Special Mention (Donna desk). Production: fully handmade in own workshops in Detmold/NRW. Design language: clear, simple forms in neutral colours — universally combinable, for modern interiors and as standalone design objects. Product categories: beds, tables (COSMO, LIVIA, CUT), side tables, seating (LINELLE), shelves (Aris, THARON, LENN), consoles (RIA), TV furniture (TAVIR), outdoor furniture, bathroom accessories, hook strips.
