DESIGNER

Burkhard Vogtherr, born in 1942, has been running his product design business since 1972, working for renowned furniture manufacturers from all over the world. He is one of the best-known German furniture designers and has won many awards over the course of his career. His expertise in areas such as sitting posture at work and movement sequences is incorporated today in his designs for swivel chairs and conference furniture. However, Burkhard Vogtherr does not restrict himself just to form and design – he develops prototypes that stand in their own right. This often results in highly inventive furniture leading to patents across the globe.
