ZEITRAUM

ZEITRAUM is a Bavarian furniture manufacturer from Wolfratshausen (south of Munich), founded in 1990 by Birgit Gämmerler — as the first German furniture manufacturer with the explicit claim to make ecology and design an inseparable whole. This was not a trend in 1990 but a founding principle: ZEITRAUM exclusively processes healthy, solid hardwoods from sustainable forestry (FSC/PEFC), treats surfaces exclusively with pure natural oils (no varnish, no chemicals) and leaves the pores open so that the wood breathes and develops its natural patina. 60% of the wood comes from German forests in the immediate vicinity of production; 40% from North America (Pennsylvania, Missouri). Wood species: ash, oak, American cherry, European and American walnut. Certification: Ökobaudat.

The range encompasses over 90 products: dining tables, chairs, benches, beds (Simple, Guest, Fusion), office furniture (Rail modular system), lighting (Noon series) and lounge chairs (Pelle, Friday, Morph). All products are designed for repairability — with the stated goal of building furniture for use across generations. Formal language: functional, clear, material-honest. Designer partnerships: Florian Hauswirth, Mathias Hahn, Formstelle, Laura Gämmerler, Kaschkasch, Lorenz+Kaz, Pedro Sottomayor, Kihyun Kim. Used in residential and contract settings; international projects.

For interior architects, workplace planners and demanding contract clients seeking a German solid wood furniture manufacturer with thirty years of consistent sustainability history, verified ecological certifications, a minimalist Alpine design tradition and a complete programme for residential and working spaces, ZEITRAUM is the most substantive address in the German-speaking solid wood segment.
