Timeless longsellers

10 gift ideas for design fans

5 Nov 2024

They are design icons, have revolutionised their product segment as innovations and have been convincing with their functionality for decades: longsellers exists across all areas. They can be found on the table and in the kitchen as well as stylish accessories. These classics with cult status are perfect gifts for many occasions and offer retailers long-lasting sales potential.

Iconic design

Good design is innovative, long-lasting and consistent down to the last detail. This results in iconic products that make history, inspire other designers and lose none of their fascination over the decades. Ultimately, these design classics are even perceived as synonymous with an entire product segment.

Form follows function 

Good things are things that work – or in other words “form follows function”: with this maxim, the Bauhaus movement of the early 20th century had a decisive influence on modern design. Legendary designers such as Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer or Wilhelm Wagenfeld represent this design epoch, whose ideas continue to have an impact today and inspire many designers to create purist designs.

Solid Color tableware by Dibbern

The Bauhaus form from the 1930s, designed by Dr Herrman Gretsch, has cult status today. As “Solid Color” by Dibbern, this form has been available in over 40 colours since 1984, offering an almost endless variety of possible combinations. In addition to a gold edition, the platinum version has now been added to the collection – a highlight to celebrate 40 years of “Solid Color”. The precious metal creates a festive, modern table setting and is absolutely suitable for everyday use, i.e. dishwasher-safe.

Kitchen classics

Nowhere is functionality more important than in the kitchen. Pots, kitchen utensils and the like are subjected to high demands all day long. Innovative product features, high-quality materials, easy handling and, last but not least, a timeless, convincing look are required in order to stand the test of time in everyday kitchen life.

The colourful ones

“Colourful is my favourite choice of colour” – this quote is attributed to Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. This means that design classics don't always have to come in a minimalist colour scheme. On the contrary: strong colours or soft nuances always lend familiar forms new radiance and strength.
