Bofinger
Möbelhersteller, Stuttgart / Baden-Württemberg
Collaboration with the genius Gugelot continued until his death in 1965. Tables, beds and chairs were created – all of them easily dismantled – along with a concept for a new kind of wall unit that could stand on its own and whose folding doors did not swing out into the room. Bofinger worked with additional freelancedesigners such as the architect Helmut Bätzner, Swiss artist Andreas Christen and American entrepreneurial couple Estelle and Erwine Laverne. The collection includes both the first stackable bed-couch made of polyester resin and the first serially produced compression-moulded plastic chair, Bätzner’s famous
Bofingerstuhl (Bofinger Chair).
An unusual highlight was the Farmer program by Gerd Lange, snap-together furniture made of wood and sailcloth that could be stored so efficiently that furnishings for an entire room fit in a car boot. In the 1970s furniture- industry crisis, the company was bought by König + Neurath, which maintained the brand name for a long time.
