raumplus, from the very private to the centre of attention, from events and awards to exciting news about this and that, we present all this to you here in our "Raumnews". In this section you can read about what's happening in Bremen, what inspires and moves us.
Welcome to raumplus!
What an anniversary month! In May, we had the pleasure of congratulating Nicole K., Katrin B. and Niels K. on a proud 25 years at raumplus. With their outstanding dedication, valuable expertise and reliability, they have played a key role in shaping and enriching raumplus over the last decades.
Such loyalty deserves to be celebrated: in a festive gathering, we looked back over the past years and toasted to our shared milestones. The management and department heads personally thanked the three of them and, in addition to the certificates, presented them with a few gifts as a token of our appreciation.
Dear Nicole, dear Katrin, dear Niels – thank you very much for your daily dedication! We look forward to the next years together with you at raumplus.
Together with a delegation of other German furniture manufacturers, our Managing Director Christian Grundler and Export Manager Marc Reimer travelled to Chicago and New York last week. With the aim of gaining an even better understanding of the world’s second-largest furniture market and building strategic bridges for the future of raumplus, they took part in an extensive programme of events.
A market of this scale operates according to its own rules. This became clear time and again during the presentations and discussions. The insights gained from the panel talks were confirmed by one-to-one meetings with potential partners, and visits to various local showrooms rounded off the picture.
Furthermore, the exchange of experiences and networking within the German delegation also yielded valuable new insights and contacts.
On Friday, Managing Director Carsten D. Bergmann bid farewell as he entered his well-deserved retirement with a lunch for the entire workforce. For more than three decades, he has played a key role in driving forward and shaping the development of raumplus in a sustainable way through his dedication, market expertise and consistent commitment to partnership.
The entire raumplus team would like to thank Carsten D. Bergmann very much for his pioneering work and wishes him all the very best for the next chapter of his life.
From 1 to 4 March, we were present at the kbb in Birmingham – and can look back on a thoroughly successful trade fair.
Visitor numbers and the volume of enquiries remained at the high levels seen at the last kbb in 2024 – underscoring the trade fair’s continued relevance.
There was particular interest in our new modular wardrobe system, miio. Visitors were enthusiastic about the flexible design options and the modern concept, which was reflected in numerous in-depth discussions and promising contacts.
It was also striking that only a few suppliers in the bedroom and sliding door sector were represented at the event. This meant we were able to stand out all the more with our presentation: our stand attracted a great deal of attention and was highlighted by many visitors as one of the most attractive at the entire fair.
Our success story began in Bremen in the mid-1980s as a small, specialised company for aluminium profile systems. Founder Jürgen Guddas developed the profile systems specifically for sliding doors, thereby laying the foundation for raumplus. This was followed by expansion into numerous export markets, an enlargement of the company headquarters, the addition of numerous room solutions, profiles and fittings to the product range, and a generational change in management.
In 2026, we are celebrating four decades of success, strong partnerships and an impressively wide range of products for every dream home. With around 160 employees, we work every day to ensure that customers in about 70 countries worldwide can fulfil their interior dreams.
We celebrated a very special occasion at the beginning of the year: three of our valued colleagues are marking a quarter-century of service with the company. Michaela, Agatha, and Axel have been part of our team for 25 years—a remarkable period during which they have contributed to our company’s success with great dedication, expertise, and reliability.
In a small but heartfelt celebration, our Managing Director Carsten D. Bergmann presented the three honorees with a certificate of honor and a gift—as a token of appreciation and recognition for their long-standing dedication.
Over a glass of sparkling wine, they toasted the past years together with their colleagues. In a convivial atmosphere, many memories and anecdotes were shared.
We warmly congratulate the three honorees on their impressive milestone and thank them for 25 years of loyalty, team spirit, and dedication. Here’s to many more years together!
We are proud to have been nominated for the German Brand Award 2026! The German Design Council's award is considered the benchmark for excellent brand management, and the nomination alone shows that our work is setting the standard for tomorrow's brand communication.
The German Design Council has been the authority on design in Germany since 1953. As a thought leader, it unlocks the potential of design for a sustainable future. To this end, it brings business and design together. All submissions are carefully reviewed, compared and discussed by a jury. The independent jury comprises experts from business, science, consulting, services and agencies.
Keep your fingers crossed for us for the award!
For a quarter of a century, you have been an integral part of our production – always hardworking, reliable, and fully committed. With your dedicated attitude, helpfulness, and perseverance, you are a true role model and a great support for the entire team.
Dear Andreas Busse, we sincerely thank you for your long-standing loyalty, your hard work, and your tireless commitment. Here’s to many more successful years with you – with the same energy, passion, and reliability that have defined you for the past 25 years!
miio is the new wardrobe system from our new brand CUB+IQ by raumplus, offering fixed modules with solutions for every challenge. The modular wardrobe system combines simple planning and flexibility with the latest consumer requirements. In addition to the modules, miio offers a wide selection of design elements, surfaces and handles that round off the versatile design options – all in the usual ‘Made in Germany’ quality.

On 12 June, we took part in the company run ‘B2Run’ in Bremen with a small team on behalf of raumplus. After a nice warm-up on the banks of the river Weser in amazing summer weather, we set off on a successful 6km run together, which ended in the Weser stadium.
In June 2025, we celebrated a special anniversary at raumplus: our colleague Michael B. reached his 25-year milestone with the company. At a small celebration, our Managing Director, Carsten Bergmann, presented Michael with a certificate and a gift to show our appreciation for his commitment, loyalty and reliability over the last 25 years.
Together with colleagues, we toasted with a glass of sparkling wine and reminisced. Although Michael has never been the subject of any bizarre anecdotes, that is precisely what makes him so special. He is always calm and conscientious, and is simply always there when you need him.
We would like to thank Michael for his many years of loyalty and dedicated work, and for his positive influence on our team. We look forward to the coming years together.
According to the motto ‘From components to tailor-made’, raumplus once again presented itself at interzum in Cologne from 20-23 May 2025. The focus: innovations for customised room solutions, technical components and stylish design for furniture, wardrobe and door systems.
Highlights at the trade fair stand:
855,000 kitchens per year and every single one is unique! Our partner nobilia, headquartered in Verl, Germany, which we had the honour of visiting in May, achieves this. After a brief introduction to the company, bright yellow warning vests were handed out to everyone and we were able to learn lots of exciting things about the kitchen manufacturer's production and processes during the factory tour.
From the individual kitchen front to the customer's home: After gaining an insight into the production, we explored the 5,400 m² exhibition area. Here, we were impressed by the huge variety of designs in all possible application examples for kitchens, bathrooms and entire room furnishings. A visit to our own raumplus showroom area on site, where our product highlights are on display all year round, rounded off the day.
Many thanks to nobilia for this great day and the exciting insights!
We are delighted to announce a milestone in the long-standing and trusting collaboration with our Indian partner MRJ: During a successful visit to Bremen at the beginning of April 2025 we officially renewed our partnership.
The Mumbai-based company has been a loyal and committed partner of raumplus for many years and has played a key role in establishing our brand philosophy and quality standards in the Indian market. With the current signing of the contract, both sides are reaffirming their common goal: the further, sustainable expansion of our business activities in India and the even stronger positioning of the raumplus brand in a dynamic market environment.
Here's to many more joint successes!
From 20 to 23 May 2025, raumplus will be exhibiting at interzum in Cologne, the world's leading trade fair for furniture production and interior design. Under the exciting theme «from components to tailor-made», we will be presenting a comprehensive overview of our product range: from sliding doors, hinged and folding doors, room dividers and partition systems to wardrobe systems and their accessories.
The daily exhibition hours are from 9:00 to 18:00. We are already looking forward to your visit and the opportunity to present our latest products and profile and hardware components to you in person.

With the grand opening of a new Experience Centre in Kochi, raumplus partner SIGMA has set an important milestone in the development of the Indian market. An entire floor has been converted into a modern showroom where customers can now experience the innovative room solutions from raumplus in authentic living scenarios.
The raumplus export team took part in the opening ceremony, which incorporated traditional Indian elements. ‘It always makes us very happy and grateful to be able to experience this feeling of coming together with members of our raumplus family,’ says Roland Lühmann and his export team, looking back on the trip.
With the new Experience Centre, customers in the Kochi region can experience the high-quality raumplus products in realistic living environments - from elegant wardrobes to perfectly integrated solutions in the kitchen. This authentic presentation enables customers and partners to directly experience the quality and versatility of raumplus systems.
Both the Indian partners and the raumplus team agree: the opening of the Experience Centre marks an important step in the cooperation and will sustainably strengthen the market presence in the region.
We are delighted to announce that our S1200 pivot door has been honoured with the prestigious German Design Award 2025!
On 7 February 2025, our colleague Kathrin Strauß accepted the award live at the German Design Award Gala in Frankfurt.
From nominee to winner: this award is a great confirmation for us, because it shows us that we are on the right track. We want to create high-quality and aesthetically pleasing room solutions, and we do this with great attention to detail. The jury of the German Design Award particularly recognised the successful combination of form and function that characterises our S1200 pivot door. The minimalist design blends seamlessly into modern living concepts, while the innovative pivot mechanism offers particular flexibility in interior design.
If you would like to read how the German Design Award jury rated our S1200 pivot door, you can do so here.
Looking back on a successful year 2024 and looking ahead to new perspectives and opportunities: On 4 December, all raumplus colleagues came together for the staff meeting. In addition to a speech by the management on the achievements and challenges of recent months, several department heads spoke about current topics in the areas of production and sales.
The great growth of our team was also particularly pleasing news: since the last meeting in June, 22 new colleagues have joined us, actively supporting raumplus in production, warehousing and administration. This means that the raumplus family has now grown to 170 people. Motivated by the words of praise from the Managing Director Carsten Bergmann for the employees, raumplus is now entering the year-end spurt and is looking forward to an exciting year 2025!
‘We are delighted that our new products, the pivot door S1200 and lighting for the Legno interior system, were met with great enthusiasm by visitors at this year's in-house exhibition in Verl.’ This is how the DACH and Export International Sales Managers, René Spies and Roland Lühmann, summed up the 2024 in-house exhibition at nobilia in Verl. The Sliding TV Door and the possibilities of digital printing were also very popular, they both report.
The number of visitors was very good and, according to the host nobilia, the total number was even higher than in the previous year. The German sales team registered numerous visits from existing customers as well as some new contacts. The export team was also pleased with the high number of visitors, especially the many French interested parties. The positive response from France was particularly pleasing for our French colleagues, who were working for raumplus at the trade fair for the first time.
The redesign of the showroom was very well received by the public. The visitors were very positive about the products and the quality. The raumplus trade fair team is delighted with the great response to the trade fair stand, from the decoration to the overall concept. The task now is to follow up on the trade fair and continue to provide first-class products. Together with the advice of our dealers in Germany and abroad, we want to counteract the reluctance of end customers to buy.
We look forward to 2025!

raumplus at Trendfilter's FURNITURETALK "Networks Made in OWL": an inspiring event characterised by exchange and innovation.
The event, moderated by Katrin de Louw and Sacha Tapken, took place in a pleasant setting that provided the perfect backdrop for interesting discussions and inspiring moments. The exchange with the participants was very enriching and the opportunity to network was used intensively. Exciting discussions characterised the atmosphere and we were able to attend a very inspiring presentation by Prof. Dr Claudia Hilker. Her expert knowledge on the topic of LinkedIn in B2B business opened up new perspectives and suggestions for our future activities.
It was also particularly pleasing to see familiar faces from the furniture industry again. The event provided an ideal platform for strengthening existing contacts and making new ones.
We would like to thank the organisers of the FURNITURETALK and are full of inspiration and new ideas for the future.
You can look forward to further innovations and developments, which we will be presenting to you here shortly as usual.
Congratulations, Meike C., on 25 years of exceptional performance and tireless commitment to order processing at raumplus! A quarter of a century characterised by professionalism, dedication and an impressive contribution to our success. Meike was duly celebrated by the management and executives in a festive gathering. Meike is not only a permanent fixture in order processing, but also a small raumplus encyclopaedia for her colleagues. With her experience and expertise, she is always on hand with help and advice. For the coming years, we wish Meike continued enjoyment at work, inspiring challenges and everything she could wish for personally! May the next stage of her professional journey be just as successful and fulfilling as the last 25 years.
Congratulations, Meike, on this impressive milestone! We look forward to many more years of collaboration and success with you.
We are delighted to announce our successful trade fair debut at the renowned KBB Birmingham , which took place from 3 to 6 March 2024 in Birmingham, UK. The KBB show is one of the leading events in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom sector. It provided us with a unique platform for the UK export market to showcase our latest innovations and high-quality solutions for customised interior design. Visitors had the opportunity to experience our versatile wardrobe systems, room dividers, hinged and sliding doors and customisable built-in solutions at first hand. We were able to generate numerous new contacts and are now looking forward to further discussions with interested parties.
For more information about the KBB Birmingham exhibition, please visit the official website: KBB Birmingham Exhibition.
We would like to thank all customers, partners and editors who visited us during imm 2024 in Cologne.
Under the motto "Light up your Life", we presented our latest, future-oriented lighting solutions as well as prototypes of the Pivot and RPG doors and many other products from raumplus. We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback on our stand and the individual products and are still enjoying the personal dialogue with you afterwards. We look forward to a successful year with you and will of course keep you up to date!
On 13 December, the management hosted a staff meeting to inform all employees about the latest news, the status quo and past and upcoming events. It was a varied meeting with the introduction of new managers, information on the processes and tasks of departments and acknowledgements. New projects were presented and the outlook for the upcoming trade fairs was given.
A successful surprise was the visit of St Nicholas in a double pack. The two managing directors surprised the employees today with a small gift from St Nicholas.
Thank you very much & bon appétit 😉
Colleagues from the administration department were given an exciting insight into production during a tour of the restructured raumplus production facility. The changes in production are impressive and illustrate the dynamism and innovative strength of our company. The tour enabled the colleagues from the administration to experience the optimised production facilities and to understand the process optimisations. One of the main aims of the tour was not only to present the processes, but also to raise awareness of the challenges and needs of the production staff. The administrative staff had the opportunity to speak directly to the managers on site and ask questions. This not only promoted the exchange of knowledge, but also strengthened cohesion between departments.

"Smile, please" was the motto in the hall as all employees, including the international sales team, took their places for the new raumplus company portrait. The international colleagues were also in Bremen for the International Sales Meeting, so the photo session was scheduled for that day. With a lot of fun, a great team photo was taken (once again).
With his direct manner, he has not only mastered the team, but also many a challenging situation. Our "Edu" always pulls out the stops when the going gets tough, and his determination has seen us through many a production hurdle. His ability to keep a level head in stressful situations deserves our utmost respect.
Our colleague Eduard Moch has accompanied the growth of our production like no other. His dedication, expertise and tireless efforts have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today.
Dear "Edu", we would like to thank you on this special anniversary. Congratulations on 30 years of outstanding work that has conquered not only production but also the hearts of your colleagues. Here's to many more years of success!

Our staff meeting was a good opportunity to reflect on the changes and challenges of the last 18 months, welcome new colleagues and hear reports from the various departments. Over the past 18 months we have seen many changes as a company. We have had to face the challenges of a rapidly changing world, marked by political events and pandemic restrictions. The staff meeting was an opportunity for us to acknowledge these challenges while celebrating the successes we have achieved as a team.
A particular highlight of the meeting was welcoming many new colleagues. We welcome them and look forward to working with them.
The brief reports from the Sales DACH region, Export and Production departments also provided important insights. Our two Managing Directors also gave an outlook on the opportunities arising from new business opportunities and existing partnerships. We see enormous potential in these areas and are confident that we can continue to drive our growth.
Finally, everyone thanked everyone for their hard work, dedication and support. Our staff meeting has shown that we can achieve a lot as a team. Together, we will continue to meet challenges, seize opportunities and keep our company on the road to success.
It was a special day for us and our colleague Burkhardt Lehmann at the beginning of July 2023. Our colleague has been with us for 25 years now and, with his internal store of knowledge, is a kind of raumplus library for us. The colleagues in the management team and the two raumplus managing directors would like to congratulate "Mr Lehmann", as he is affectionately known to all his colleagues, on his anniversary. He is responsible for the company's IT management and, together with his team, is often the fire brigade when it comes to IT.
We all thank "Mr Lehmann" and wish him continued fun and joy in his work! Congratulations!
We were there live for the first time, at the Red Dot Gala 2023 in Essen. It was a great event in two parts. It started with the Red Dot Gala in Essen's Aalto Theatre, the place where the best of the best were honoured for their extraordinary design achievements. After the official presentation of the Best of the Best Awards, the Red Dot Designers Night continued at the Zeche Zollverein. The Red Dot Museum, where the evening event took place, is also located in the time-honoured industrial halls. The crowning finale was the presentation of our award certificate and the official winner photo shoot.
We would like to thank the Red Dot team and look forward to coming back again!

"We are delighted with the response to our new product »Facet« and the trade fair concept," says Kathrin Strauß, Head of Marketing and Art Director at raumplus. The trade fair hat trick: Fuorisalone, interzum & imm cologne Spring Edition was the big challenge for the raumplus team. Together and motivated, we went to the start and even the first day of the fair gave us hope that we would be able to draw a positive conclusion at the end of the fair. And so it was.
The new »Facet«, the clothes lift with floor ("paternoster floor") as well as the new push-to-open/softclose combination for the drawer, the drawer with invisible pull-out and the S1200 turn lock were very well received by the trade public.
We would like to thank everyone who visited us in Cologne for the great moments and good discussions!
All in all, Interzum 2023, which took place from 9 to 12 May in Cologne, was an inspiring event that delighted the public with fascinating innovations and groundbreaking ideas.
"We see the clear internationalisation of Interzum as a great opportunity for raumplus. The positive basic mood was reflected by our customers from Europe as well as from the Middle East and India and we were able to make many new contacts," says Carsten Bergmann. The focus at Interzum was on the »Facet« presentation, but the new handle variants of the Swing Door Slim Line, the locks of the S1200 and the paternoster floor for the Legno interior system also made a good impression.
Copper and champagne as the »Facet« profile colours were the talk of the town, as raumplus is breaking new ground here. "We are very pleased with the popularity of our new »Facet« profile system. Developed by the Berlin Furniture designer Michael Hilgers, »Facet« also managed to inspire people in Cologne with its gemstone-inspired shape," says Bergmann.
Now we are looking forward to Cologne and to welcoming you at the imm Spring Edition: 04. to 07. June, Hall 11.2 Booth N008
More than 30 guests accepted our invitation to Bremen and so we could welcome our partners and customers from India at our company location on 08 May 2023. It was a good and exciting day for all participants. The company confirmation and production tour were followed by entertaining presentations from various departments to provide a good basis for a professional exchange afterwards. We would like to thank all our guests and look forward to seeing them again!
Profile system »Facet« awarded the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2023. raumplus continues to set standards in product design: Profile system »Facet« was awarded by an international jury for its exceptional quality. With the Red Dot Award, the jury honours products with special design quality and a high degree of innovation. »Facet« was designed by the Berlin Furniture designer Michael Hilgers, who was inspired by the polished edges of a precious stone during the development. »Facet« will celebrate its world premiere at Fuorisalone 2023 in Milan. There, the new raumplus profile system will be presented to the public for the first time. "With »Facet«, we are proud to be able to prove once again how innovative and design-oriented our intelligent customised room solutions are! »Facet« joins the ranks of our S1200 LED sliding door, the Sliding TV Door and the Swing Door Slim Line room door, which have also won internationally recognised awards.
In March, raumplus visited nobilia in Verl. On a total of three Fridays, colleagues visited the factory and the exhibition at the Verl site. It was an exciting day for all of us. In addition to the production tour, which ranged from the delivery area of the raw material to the shipping area, we were introduced to the company in an interesting presentation. In the 5,000m² exhibition, we then learned everything about nobilia's "everything from a single source" principle and were able to discover all the exhibition kitchens and the solutions for the living area and bathroom. The highlight for many employees was certainly to visit their own raumplus exhibition at nobilia. Seeing, touching and trying out one's own products live in an exhibition outside one's own location is simply something else. At the end of the day, all three groups were very impressed by the dimensions and grateful for this great experience.
We thank the nobilia team for the great reception and the exciting time in Verl!
After a few years break we are back in Milano. As part of the Fuorisalone 2023, we will show our new products at Corso Garibaldi 17, in the Brera district. The Fuorisalone is an annual design event in Milan that takes place at the same time as the Salone del Mobile. It is a great way to find out about the latest trends in the design world and also the Brera district and Fuorisalone is a wonderful opportunity to experience the culture and flair of Milano.
Our new profile system will celebrate its premiere in Milano, celebrate with us. We look forward to seeing you in Milano!
On 16 February 2023, the raumplus India factory and Inspiration Centre was officially opened by our partner Saviesa Home Improvement. Numerous guests attended the great event and made the day another very special day in raumplus history. Dr. Herwig Mehrwald, CEO Sales & Marketing, and Tomek Tyminski, Sales Director Asia & Pacific, from raumplus, were present at the opening and conveyed their best wishes for a joint future in partnership.
![[Translate to English:] Doppelter Geburtstag bei raumplus](/fileadmin/_processed_/f/7/csm_Doppelter_Geburtstag_bei_raumplus_0171652cfc.webp)
Both managing directors had their birthdays last Sunday and thanked the entire raumplus team for the wonderful congratulations and gifts. The good fairies in Bremen truly succeeded in their surprise and our top management in turn thanked them with delicious sandwiches and „Berliners“, which were served in the company cafeteria today.
The team wishes the two gentlemen all the best and says "Thank you!

The 2nd May 2022 was a special day, for our colleague Rüdiger W. and for all of us. When a colleague has been part of the company for three decades, that speaks for itself.
The managing directors and executives congratulated and Carsten Bergmann presented Rüdiger W. with a certificate of honour and a trophy as thanks and recognition. Together, they look back on a long, successful and eventful path with raumplus.
We wish our colleague a lot of fun in the future and say: "Congratulations & thank you Rüdiger!
The challenge in planning the new raumplus showroom in Bremen was to create a presentation of lifeworlds in suggested spaces, close to the corporate architecture, instead of installing a pure product presentation.
With a size of 220m², the new showroom offers plenty of space to implement the new presentation concept. The living worlds are intended to arouse more emotions and stimulate the customers' imagination. The raumplus partners are to be given furnishing ideas during a visit to the showroom at the company's Bremen location. "We want to give the partners ideas for designing their own exhibition and show them the context in which our products can be staged," says Kathrin Strauß, Art Director at raumplus. Within these living worlds, we present different products that are coordinated with each other, just as you would configure them for your own home.
In addition to its function as a showroom, the newly designed space in 2022 also serves as a meeting room and event location. For this reason, a more sensible room layout and better walkways were one of the points we worked out together.
The intelligent room solutions and products produced by raumplus have passed the tests and are officially certified with the label: furniture. Made in Germany. Our walk-in wardrobes, built-in wardrobes, room dividers, chests of drawers and room doors may now adorn themselves with this label. Since 2020, the "Möbel Made in Germany" label has stood for the high quality of German furniture manufacturers, for innovation, durability and healthy living. The new label was defined by the renowned German Institute for Quality Assurance and Certification (RAL) and is set out in RAL-RG 0191. What do these awards mean for raumplus customers? One thing above all: they can be sure that they are buying quality products made in Germany. Or to put it in the words of the Association of the German Furniture Industry: "We have thus introduced certified proof of quality furniture from Germany".
We are pleased about this confirmation!
We received two awards at this year's German Brand Award, the sixth edition of one of the most important German brand prizes: the virtual raumplus house was named »Winner« in the category Brand Communication - Digital solutions & Apps and also received a »Special Mention« as Brand Innovation of the year.
With 315 million contacts, the prize awarded by the Frankfurt-based German Design Council is the brand and marketing prize with the widest reach in the German-speaking world. Once a year, it honors the best in innovative brands, consistent brand management and sustainable brand communication. We are proud that our virtual house, which has been breaking all click records since its inauguration in January of this year, has even received two awards. This encourages us to continue pursuing innovative online paths in parallel to our classic (trade show) presence in order to be in direct contact with our customers at all times.
For a week now, our online trade fair stand and the raumplus house can be explored on screen in a 360° tour and the response has been great! Just like in analogue IMM times, dealers, press representatives, end consumers and interested parties are virtually "joining hands" at the raumplus stand - only this time virtually and thus without any risk of contagion. At most, there will be a crowd on our server, which is optimally prepared - just like our sales team, which will be happy to accompany visitors online on request.
The fact that many people take the time afterwards to express their approval and congratulations for this new way of presentation makes us very happy and also a little proud. From "Outstanding. We haven't seen anything like this (in our industry)" (Gruner + Jahr publishing group) to "Congratulations on the successful implementation! Super exciting to see what is possible" (Architonic) to "Inspiring. Applause!" (LinkedIn network), the undivided encouragement we receive through a wide variety of communication channels. Until the end of February, interested parties can visit us at the virtual trade fair 2021 with a click - at any time and from any location.
The digital raumplus house will remain accessible and experienceable online all year round and will continue to inspire with further rooms and products in the future.
raumplus is a brand in the book - soon to be in the literal sense as well. As one of around 100 selected companies, we will be featured in the 2021 annual volume #whatcounts. The great German brands. This compendium is published annually by the German Design Council and presents renowned German producers in expert two-page essays on brand and design. The publication in German and English reaches its brand-oriented target group on the national market via the participating companies and cooperation partners, while internationally it receives high-profile distribution via 227 German embassies and consulates around the world. As a family-owned company, we are pleased to be able to represent quality made in Germany in the circle of renowned brands. Hot off the press, #whatcounts. The Great German Brands 2021 at a design gala on September 24, 2020 at Soho House Berlin, where raumplus will of course also be represented: between two noble book covers and, if the current situation allows, in person.
Our Swing Door Slim Line literally "excelled" at the German Design Award 2020: the Frankfurt Design Council named it "Winner" in the category "Excellent Product Design - Buildings and Elements". It impressed the jury with its ability to add a second sash to large openings, which can be fixed or opened as required. The design of the filigree panels set in aluminum frames, which can be structured symmetrically or asymmetrically with attached glazing bars, was also deemed worthy of an award. We are pleased to continue the series of raumplus product awards with the German Design Award 2020 currently - and feel honored on the whole "Slim Line".
For the fourth time, the readers of "Wohnidee" have honored raumplus with the annual public award of the living magazine, determined by voting. More than 18,500 readers voted for their favorites in seven furniture categories ranging from beds and upholstery to lighting. Valuable end consumer votes that earned us first place in the "Wohnidee Reader Award 2019" in the "Wardrobes" category. Our walk-in wardrobe combination of tinted float glass sliding doors from the S1200 Air series and the matching Uno and Legno interior systems was very well received. Thus, after 2017, raumplus was once again able to accept the prize awarded at the IMM Cologne. We would like to thank you for the "excellent" choice and will be happy to face the readers' verdict with current products again this year.
