der Unentschlossene

A piece of furniture that cannot make up its mind – der Unentschlossene (german for indecisive). Our first spatial object. With its straight and curved side, this carefully crafted solid wood piece carries a duality that is somewhere deeply human. It is reflected in the furniture itself, just as it is in us and in so much that surrounds us. Closeness and distance, lightness and depth. Contrasts that do not exclude each other, but together form a harmony. Just like "der Unentschlossene". A piece of furniture born from life, made to stay.

There is a form of wholeness within indecision. Two complementary opposites that celebrate the both-and instead of the either-or. This tension is what makes "der Unentschlossene" come alive. Duality here is no abstract concept. We meet it in everyday life, and especially at home — a place where calm and unrest, closeness and distance, lightness and weight all coexist. Furniture is the quiet companion of all of that. "der Unentschlossene" takes up this idea and translates it into form. It is not just functional, it is deliberately present. You use it, place books, glasses, the everyday on it, and at the same time you notice it. In a world full of surface and pure aesthetics, this is our counterweight: a piece of furniture that comes from life, that is somewhere fundamentally human, and that therefore carries substance — a statement that reaches beyond pure aesthetics.

»A dual form — that's what I found compelling«

— Clemens, one of the founders of label raum and designer of "der Unentschlossene"

When we say that "der Unentschlossene" comes from life, we mean more than just its duality. Its origin, too, is personal. Originally made by Clemens as a birthday gift for his wife, it became the starting point for our first piece of furniture:

  • a solid wood piece made from European hardwoods such as cherry and ash
  • finished twice with natural oils
  • handcrafted in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

 

You are very welcome to visit us in our workshop in Karlsruhe. We are an interdisciplinary team coming from all kinds of backgrounds. Different ideas, inspirations and perspectives meet here — and that is exactly where our strength lies. We, too, carry a kind of duality — just like "der Unentschlossene" ;). 

 

Above all we wanted to make a piece of furniture that becomes a companion for life. Quiet enough not to impose itself, yet present enough to be noticed. The years pass, things change and evolve. "der Unentschlossene" remains. A piece of furniture as a constant in the flow of private life.
