In our stores in Cologne, Stuttgart, Bonn and Munich, you are right in the middle of the world of MAGAZIN products. Take a look at what interests you, touch the products and try them out.
You will recognize our own products at the M, because we believe that there's no such thing as impossible. That's why we make things ourselves that are not available the way we would like them to be. Or we make things that do exist better.
We share a common attitude with all our manufacturers: we sell well-designed products and take a critical look at materials and manufacturing processes.

AARKE - Swedish design
When two Swedish industrial designers take on the treatment of tap water: Aarke makes water really good - the idea is as simple as its implementation is complex. Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth, founders of the Swedish design company Aarke, are industrial designers through and through and have been dedicated to the treatment of tap water since 2013. This now very successful venture began with a real nuisance: in their search for a well-designed sparkling water maker, the two Swedish friends despaired at what was available. And not just in terms of aesthetics, but also in terms of function, choice of materials and production. The conclusion was as clear as it was quick: There's a better way - let's just do it ourselves! A way of thinking that we at MAGAZIN like and share very much. No half measures: Aarke develops and produces kitchen appliances - water bubblers, filters, kettles and even glasses - that work convincingly and look good to boot, with the highest standards for every detail and component, no matter how small. The clearly legible and pure design belies the complex inner workings: Carl Ljungh and Jonas Groth work with engineers and technicians to scrutinize mechanisms, pipes and springs - lever action, pressure distribution and every last detail, taking them apart, rethinking and optimizing them until everything - from function to design - is exactly as it should be. So that the water is really good.
