A rustic-modern house designed to grow organically from its site, overlooking a cornfield, river and mountains in the distance. Indigenous stone and wood materials were taken from the site and incorporated into the structure, which was articulated to honestly express the means of construction. Notable features include an open living/dining/kitchen space with window walls taking in the surrounding views, and an internally-focused circular library celebrating the home owner’s love of literature.

Mit dem innovativen Wohnbaukasten "setup" kann der Nutzer frei nach dem Motto „Schlankwand statt Schrankwand“ ein individuelles platzsparendes Möbelstück zusammenstellen: Auf einfache Art und Weise entsteht ein funktionales Homeoffice, ein persönliches Bücherregal mit beleuchteter Vitrine, das Lieblings-TV-Möbel usw.. "setup" kann drüber hinaus sogar Rücken-an-Rücken konfiguriert werden: So wird setup zum weltweit ersten frei im Raum stehenden beidseitig nutzbaren Sekretär für "Sie" und "Ihn". Selbstverständlich lassen sich mehrere unterschiedliche Nutzungen in einem Möbel vereinigen: So weicht z.B. die Kombination von Sekretär, Vitrine und Bücherregal den Begriff des häuslichen Arbeitens gestalterisch auf: Durch diese Symbiose wird der kompakte Arbeitsplatz zum wohnlichen "Heim-Büro". Die unterschiedlichen Funktionsmodule lassen sich jederzeit neu arrangieren und erweitern. In Kombination mit den individualisierbaren hochwertigen Fronten passt sich setup so an jede Wohnsituation an. Kabel lassen sich unsichtbar verstecken; Elektrifizierung und Beleuchtung sind optional erhältlich. Über den Hersteller: Müller Möbelwerkstätten entwickelt und fertigt seit über 140 Jahren hochwertige Möbel im Norden Deutschlands. Das mittelständische Familienunternehmen mit 40 hochqualifizierten Mitarbeitern wird geführt von Dierk Müller und seinem Sohn Jochen, der in der 5. Generation die lange Handwerks- und Möbeltradition fortführt. Die eigene Design-Kollektion wurde erstmals 1971 auf der Möbelmesse in Köln präsentiert. Seit dem entstehen Jahr für Jahr neue Produkte in enger Zusammenarbeit mit renommierten Designern wie zum Beispiel Jan Armgardt, Rolf Heide, Michael Hilgers und Felix Stark. Viele Entwürfe wurden mit nationalen und internationalen Designpreisen ausgezeichnet. www.muellermoebel.de Über den Designer: Designer. Erfinder. Designerfinder. Der gelernte Möbeltischler und Architekt Michael Hilgers versteht sich als „Designerfinder“: In seinen für namhafte Hersteller entwickelten Entwürfen kombiniert er stets Erfindungsreichtum mit einer minimalistischen Gestaltung. Hilgers innovative jedoch gleichzeitig verblüffend einfachen Möbellösungen wie z.B. der ultraflache Sekretär „flatmate“ oder der kompakte Balkonarbeitsplatz „balKonzept“ stehen exemplarisch für seine Philosophie, traditionelle Produktkategorien für unsere heutige Wohn- und Arbeitswelt in Frage zu stellen und auf pragmatische Art und Weise neu zu überdenken. Die in seinem Berliner Studio entwickelten (multi)funktionalen, flexiblen und raumsparenden Pionierprodukte wurden mehrfach u.a. mit dem Interior Innovation Award prämiert und bereits in diversen Museen gezeigt.

Contemporary Study Ideas and Designs

Whether you work from home or need a study space to get things done out of hours, finding room in the house for a home office makes for a valuable addition to many homes. Having a contemporary home office can seem like the best of both worlds, but it’s important to keep in mind that this should be a productive space that keeps out the many distractions of home. You may not have the luxury of a dedicated room to turn into your contemporary office room or home library, so choose your space wisely to ensure privacy and adequate storage. A carefully designed corner in your living room or an alcove can be made into a productive and stylish study space. Your home office furniture with the desk in the centre of your design, needs to include both work surface space and storage ideas – never underestimate how quickly a computer desk can become cluttered with stationery and box files.

How do I find contemporary home office ideas?

For any basic home office or study set up there are just two essential office furniture items: desks and seating. If you will be a frequent home worker then you will also want to invest in nice desk lighting, filing cabinets or bookcases. Desks need to be large enough to accommodate all the tools of your trade. The material your desk is made from will set the tone for your home office design, whether you opt for glass, traditional teak, luxurious mahogany or affordable pine. Investing in a good quality task chair is imperative for the office – there are some great ergonomic chairs at every price level that will help to compensate for our modern, computer-bound lifestyles. If you have room for an office chair other than your computer chair, choose something comfortable but still supportive for when you need a break from your desk. Ideas that include a nice bookcase design and wall shelves mean your contemporary study can double as a home library. For a truly luxurious home office you could consider fitted office furniture which will maximise the space you have and create a permanent space in your home dedicated to work.

How to find ideas for my contemporary home office decor?

The right ambience will make your home office a place you enjoy spending time without taking away your focus. Choose a colour scheme that encourages productivity for you – that may be a palette that is calming and restful, or you might feel more inspired by bright invigorating colours and graphic prints. When decorating the walls, look out for items that create the right studious vibe for the room. Wall maps, pinboards that can serve as mood or inspiration boards, and world clocks can all be great options when considering office design ideas. Practical necessities like desk lamps needn’t be unattractive – there a range of stunning designer lamps available. After all your hard work to make this a productive space, clutter can be very distracting so limit the items on your home office desk to a couple of your favourite photographs and perhaps a trinket or two to stimulate the mind. Papers and office supplies should be tucked away, so keep the space tidy and maintain your office as a calm work space that promotes focus – all the better to see your lovely decor with.

How do I setup a home office in a small room?

A home office doesn’t have to mean a separate room – the nature of working from home involves compartmentalisation, so apply this concept practically to your space. Even a small space, if sectioned off properly, can be transformed into a great workstation or study area. Unused nooks are the perfect places to fit your study in a small room – place a desk and chair under some floating shelves. Even under-utilised fitted wardrobes can make an innovative makeshift home office desk space with built-in storage. If the room you have can’t accommodate a full set of office furniture, opt for versatile options such as home office desks with built-in drawers or storage benches. If you use a laptop instead of a desktop PC, you may even consider a folding table that can be simply tidied away when you’re done working or studying. Alternatively, you may want to leave the house altogether – garden offices, either purpose-built or converted from sheds, are increasingly popular as a tranquil space away from the chaos of home life. If it was good enough for Roald Dahl, it’s certainly good enough for us.

How do I create a contemporary home library?

If the stuffiness of home office desks, swivel chairs and filing cabinets is too much for you, a contemporary library space may be more your thing when it comes to study, work or even relaxation. Libraries are peaceful and quiet places, and with careful consideration you can recreate this in an area of your home. Books are obviously going to feature heavily in your home library design, and you’ll need a place to store them. A bookcase or nice shelving can create room dividers if you don’t have a whole room to dedicate to a home library, and the benefit of bookcases is that they are movable – you don’t have to stick with one layout it it’s not working. If you don’t want to take up space, shelves hung on the walls will work just as well, and if you really want that authentic library feel then you’ll have to go with built in bookshelves that stretch from floor to ceiling. Next all you need is a comfy chair in amongst the books or a desk if you plan to do work or study from your library. Remember that contemporary library areas can be slotted in all around the home – under the stairs, in a corner of your living room or kitchen, as a mezzanine or in a small spare room.
