About

Colour is not decoration. It is structure.
The MHK Annual Convention in Berlin is one of the key gatherings of the European kitchen and interior industry — and its living & style exhibition is where material language and spatial thinking are put to the test.
For this stage, StephanPartner developed a concept in precise dialogue with the kitchen itself. Built on the interplay of colour and wood, it activates the new FENIX surface Giallo Evora through deliberate spatial staging — colour as an architectural tool, not a backdrop.
Material warmth, tonal depth, and careful coordination create a kitchen that reads as a cohesive environment rather than a singular object.

About

Craft is not heritage. It is practice.
Since 1898, the evolution of craftsmanship has been at the core of Deutsche Werkstätten — continuously embedded in the technological and design contexts of its time. As engineers and makers in the luxury sector, the company occupies a rare position: exceptional quality, properly valued.
For many design-driven craftspeople in Saxony, the reality looks different — despite work of equal precision and ambition.
The initiative Dresdner Zimmer brings these contemporary craft positions into focus. Hosted within the gallery spaces of Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau, it creates a platform for outstanding handcrafted objects — and a space for discourse on what craftsmanship means today.

About

The kitchen is no longer a functional space. It is architecture, attitude, a way of living.
As part of Küchenmeile A30, StephanPartner has conceived the Sachsenküchen showroom as a holistic spatial experience — developed in close collaboration with studio Chyba and Partners. At its heart, two contrasting worlds define the installation: a bright environment shaped by Scandinavian-Japanese sensibility, grounded in natural materials — calm, reduced, elemental. And a technically cool zone in stainless steel and chrome that transitions seamlessly into a darker, atmospherically charged setting.
The showroom dissolves the boundaries between kitchen, dining, and living — a continuous spatial narrative rather than a product catalogue.

About

An idea needs a room to become real.
Design Campus Schloss Pillnitz marked the first public appearance of the Dresdner Zimmer initiative — the moment a concept stepped out of the studio and into the world. Hosted within the Kunstgewerbemuseum of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, the pop-up workshop and exhibition created a first tangible platform for design-driven regional craft at the highest level of quality.
The format was deliberate: open, discursive, material. Partners, clients, and enthusiasts gathered to examine the potential of a shared brand framework for exceptional regional craftsmanship — and to ask what forms of collaboration could create something genuinely connective.

About

A Private Office — Discretion in its most personal form.
Conceived as a place of retreat as much as of work, this private office is defined by material depth and a strong sense of presence. Continuous timber and textile cladding replace conventional wall surfaces, creating an enveloping interior in which every detail contributes to calm and precision. An integrated bar and bathroom extend the spatial logic into a small, self-contained environment — a complete interior world for living and working on individual terms. Carefully integrated lighting and precise detailing reinforce the room’s quiet authority.
Less a conventional workspace than a considered interior statement.

About

Good architecture doesn't announce itself. It fits.
Conceived entirely around the requirements and sensibility of its owner, this private residence is the result of a precise dialogue between spatial clarity and personal character. Bespoke finishes define the atmosphere, while every technical element is fully integrated, allowing the architecture to unfold without visual distraction.
The result is a home conceived as one coherent gesture — meticulously realised in close collaboration and brought to life by PY_LAB.

The individually designed boat-shaped table was created as part of the complete redesign of a private house. The table is handcrafted from solid oak. Stefan Heinz contributed the frame with its well-built wood joints and the solid tabletop with a length of 350 cm is from PYL Lab. Rounded off by Poliform chairs, the boat-shaped tabletop provides a communicative and laid-back dining setting for stimulating get-togethers for up to 12 people.

ISPO TEXTRENDS AWARDS

Several of Redaelli’s innovative developments were chosen and honoured as top innovations of ISPO TEXTRENDS. Stephanpartner got the process underway and accompanied the strategic and design aspects. With support from partners Primaloft and Vagotex, it was possible to show a classic technology in a new light:

2020: Redaelli’s Sports Fur - Making the most of all the benefits of a fur, without jeopardising animals’ lives: this has become a reality thanks to Redaelli’s woven hair, which fully demonstrates all the merits of a long pile velvet as an insulating layer. Velvet Fur has great warming properties and keeps the skin dry and at an optimum temperature. In combination with wind and water-repellent coatings, Redaelli’s developments even surpass those of real fur. Whether as a third layer for outdoor jackets or a warming vest, the textile performance can be varied to suit different scenarios and designed to look the part.

2019: Combining the glamor and style of velvet with the performance of traditional outdoor products, the new Redaelli velvet series adds a whole new dimension to functional clothing. The supposedly sensitive textile convinces with a surprising resistance and the ability to form a natural patina. Different bondings to 2L or 3L compositions make it possible to work with waterproof seams, processing with or without lining and the possibility of additional filling with down or synthetic fibers.

About

The development of the materials and garments was initiated and driven by Stephanpartner: Velvet, once the cloth of kings and queens, princes and emperors, is now making its debut appearance on mountains and ski slopes as the material of choice for intrepid explorers and heroes of the mountains looking to protect themselves from the elements. Redaelli is bringing all its experience in high fashion velvets to the table and asking the question of why function always has to be associated with a high-tech look. The answer to this is a capsule collection of velvets with functional features that can compete with the materials traditionally used in the sportswear and outdoor industry and are making new fashion statements. Time to take a new direction. Time for a romantic fashion-sport crossover – straight from the catwalk to the slopes. But the real adventure takes place on the back of the fabric. Equipped, according to customer requirements, with different membranes and coatings, the velvets boast a high degree of functionality. Windproof, waterproof up to a water column of 10,000 mm and increased thermal capacity are just a few aspects that speak in favour of sportier uses. Even the pile is a lot tougher than you would think. This supposedly sensitive textile impresses with its surprising resistance and ability to form a natural patina. Different bonding to 2L or 3L compositions are now making it possible to work with stitchless technologies, processing with or without lining and the possibility of additional filling with down or synthetic fibres.

Together with Shima Seiki Japan, we decided to carry out another marketing initiative, in addition to the trade fair booth for ISPO 2019 in Munich, to raise awareness of SHIMA products. As well as the partnership with the ISPO BRANDNEW Area, the BRANDNEW team were kitted out with a specially designed jacket that was developed using Shima knitting technology. The blazer-style jacket is knit entirely in one piece – thanks to Shima’s WHOLEGARMENT technology. Asahi Kasei provided the perfect yarn, YKK the latest zipper technology and NNT the matching finishing using bonded appliqués on the jacket.
