What sets Schönbuch apart?
At Schönbuch, we discovered hallways and entrances as our niche and became the market leader – but we didn’t stop there. On the contrary, we have since turned from a specialist in entrance solutions into an interior brand that picks up on and reinterprets the latest trends. To me, the duality between Carolin Sangha, our creative director, and myself is particularly important. Carolin has an incredibly keen sense of trends, colour and presentation and knows exactly what people want; I concentrate more on the strategic business side of things and bring a commercial perspective to what we do. The dichotomy between us opens up tremendous creative scope for developing desirable furniture items and accessories with a casual, relaxed feel that deliver on our promise: Simply Beautiful.
Where do you find inspiration?
I’d describe myself as an aesthete through and through. I’m passionate about classical song and opera, art, travel, fashion, architecture and design, all of which play a crucial role in shaping our brand. I’m not all that interested in what other furniture companies are doing. What’s more important for Schönbuch is my perspective on the outside world. That’s what sets us apart.
How has Schönbuch developed over the last 15 years?
We have become more international, joining tradeshows in Milan and Shanghai and entering new markets, most recently Asia, Australia, the US and Canada. We also work constantly to develop our colour range, but at the same time, we have rediscovered age-old European.
