Transformable furniture offers all sorts of advantages. Various purposes can be fulfilled without taking up any additional space. This means it’s the kind of furniture that’s good for small living spaces and convenient to take along when relocating. Die Collection, a manufacturing collective founded in the 1960s, specializes in these domestic miracle-workers. Such pieces are perfectly tailored to the needs of singles, for example, those modern nomads who make frequent moves and like to live in big cities where living space is at a premium. Behind the Die Collection brand are the companies Franz Fertig, a tradition-rich upholstered furniture-maker from the Odenwald region, and Bacher, a producer of tables, chairs and TV furniture based south of Stuttgart. Completing the program is case furniture from Swiss maker Betschart. The relatively difficult task the proponents have set themselves entails having all furniture conceived by external designers who usually bring their own ideas with them. Most of them are German names well-known in the industry such as Thomas Althaus, Gabriele Assmann, Alfred Kleene and the duo Volker Laprell and Volker Classen. The designer provenance is not showcased here, however. One of the important pieces is the Sona sofa, which does not at first glance reveal that it is replete with possibilities. The Sino easychair, which can be easily tilted back or pulled out to lounge length, is just the thing for both avid readers and TV viewers. The additive cabinet system Uptodate is a perfect example of a modular concept whose freely selectable widths, depths and heights make for a myriad of possible ensembles. One of its most striking features is the incorporation of upwardly angled sliding doors. An innovative solitary piece of furniture is the Stretch sideboard, whose length-changing flexibility supports the idea of open living by affording optical “breakthroughs”.
