Friedrich- Wilhelm Möller, a cabinetmaker and interior designer by profession, made quite a few detours before he began to design furniture. But in the early 1960s he was a freelance representative for COR and Interlübke, and that took him straight to the heart of the business. The wealth of experience he gained during those years probably contributed to the creation of his upholstered furniture program Conseta ( for COR). At that time, his innovative modular system was groundbreaking and today, four decades later, it is still a bestseller. Despite his continued achievements, however, COR parted from its long-time associate in the late 1980s. So Möller founded his own design-oriented furniture company, which he rapidly put on the road to success. His formula includes guidelines that all come from the textbook of “good form” and are all oriented toward values that for a century have been at the top of the list in German design. Furniture should be long-lasting, maintain its aesthetic punch over the years and, last but not least, be geared toward the people who use it, measuring up to their standards and meeting their needs. Such a concept also incorporates the notion of a feeling of cosiness and security. Möller’s catalogue includes upholstered furniture, cabinet systems, tables and beds. The comfortable and simple bed Yomo – one of the company’s first designs – as well as the 1986 pivoting glass table Gironda and the 1993 wardrobe Para, which is based on a classic country-style wardrobe, are among Möller’s outstanding designs. Design awards like the one for the Mia bed in 2000 confirm the soundness of the eastern Westphalian’s strategy. Möller’s son has headed the company since the founder’s death in 1996. One of the family business’s characteristics is the fact that all of its furniture, which is produced in Swabia, is designed on site by a creative team of currently ten designers.
