Röthlisberger

Every piece of furniture in the Röthlisberger Kollektion seeks to be the perfect translation of a new concept. Frequently, new manufacturing methods have to be found and implemented to achieve this. Naturally, such a level of innovative spirit also requires space. In Gümligen, a well-designed development and production area meets this need. Cutting-edge technology complements first-class craftsmanship. Efficient production processes have been further optimised with the opening of a centre extension in 2012. Like the 2002 new building, the cuboid timber construction with 1800 m2 of floor space was also designed by architectural firm ARB, Bern, and Trix and Robert Haussmann. Our furniture is made and finished by hand here in accordance with best practice. However, much happens before an item of furniture leaves the manufacturing centre: intensive consultation with the designer, a great deal of trust and a continual exploration of what can be done, and how. It’s a process that also needs passion and expertise. The designer and all who work at Röthlisberger need to be driven by one motive: creating furniture that inspires from a visual, haptic and functional standpoint.
