MAGAZIN-Products

We trade and produce

How is our range created? We select from the vast global range with passion and enjoyment of the product, with routine and confidence. We are interested in new ideas, materials and manufacturing methods. Conventional manufacturing techniques and traditional designs of exceptional quality also find their place in our range. Our drive to design better furnishings has led to our own product range, the MAGAZIN products. We develop them together with designers and manufacture them ourselves. Our in-house developments incorporate much of what makes us special. Each MAGAZIN product is based on an original idea and an intensive examination of the questions of need and benefit, purpose and necessity. Who needs this product for what purpose and why is it better than something that already exists? In a close exchange between the designers and the MAGAZIN product developers, a piece of furniture finds its way from the first sketch to series production.

The attitude of a company is shaped by its founders. Their enthusiasm, ideas and values shape a brand. This is also the case with MAGAZIN: in 1971, a few courageous pioneers opened a store for furnishing accessories in a backyard in Stuttgart. It was a time of social upheaval and their concept was as simple as it was determined: What does a space need? What do the people who live and work in it need? These were the questions that were to guide the product range - not traditional conventions and views on living and furnishing. The founders drew their inspiration from the world of industry and work, and their materials and products from wholesalers for workshops and restaurants. The approach of furnishing rooms in this way represented a small revolution almost 50 years ago.

Today, this idea of the founders of MAGAZIN not only lives on in the minds of our employees and customers, it has also had a lasting influence on our view of quality, design and function. For us, this principle still determines our daily work, in the selection of our product range as well as in the development and manufacture of our own products - the MAGAZIN products. With the MAGAZIN products, we are able to realize our own ideas and provide our customers with distinctive products outside the mainstream. The Container DS is one such example. MAGAZIN-Our products are often manufactured in small series by regional craftsmen. Where materials and workmanship allow, they are made using industrial craftsmanship. Our knowledge of the product and the market is just as helpful here as our ongoing discussions with manufacturers and designers, our employees and customers.

How do we come up with our ideas? An alert view of the world, intensive collaboration with designers and direct exchange with manufacturing companies continuously provide us with inspiration for new products. We see small manufacturers as essential partners on the way to the finished product and want to strengthen them. As with our retail range, the materials and workmanship of the products are thoroughly checked and appropriate standards are applied. The result? MAGAZIN-Our products stand for quality and good design. They enrich everyday life in a clever and charming way, beyond conventions and short-lived fashions. In short: we offer everyday objects that grow close to their owners' hearts.
