Him and Her | Surprising Cardboard Creations

Rolf and Franz, a friendship and the beginning of a story of a collection of lamps. Franz came up with an idea. The idea of a very simple, lovable product that enriches the homely environment and is a charming counterpoint to our over engineered world. The idea stayed in his head for a while but only came to life when he talked about it to his friend Rolf, whose job it is after all to give things a beautiful shape. Rolf was highly impressed immediately started the development. But there were so many questions. Which material? Which design? And yet the answers came naturally. The chosen material was boxboard. Familiar to anyone: warm, aesthetically pure, easy to work with and on top of that ecologically. The design was clarified, but still a lot of details to be solved! This was an intensive, but fulfilling phase of trial and error. Then it was born - the first him + her lamp collection. Since then a lot happened, like the Red Dot design award in 2011. After that they were happy to see a growing number of beautiful designs, a growing number of enthusiasts identifying themselves with the idea of sustainable illumination with pure and simple designs.
