Studio Vertijet

The site was down for three days. (The guy needed a massage!!!) Sorry bout that.

Well, for today, I spotted scroll and Nuba by Kirsten Antje Hoppert and Steffen Kroll from Studio Vertijet.

Scroll can be used separately as a chair, or as a couch or sofa when used in combination with additional elements, and can thus be slept upon or simply used as somewhere to rest your legs.




Almost like a sculpture, NUBA grows out of the floor – the sofa seems to be made of stone. The design is based on the need to form a voluminous, commanding furniture sculpture that offers optimum seating comfort.




Studio Vertijet was founded in 2000 by Kirsten Antje Hoppert and Steffen Kroll. Kirsten Hoppert, born in Plauen in 1973, studied interior design from 1992 to 2001 at the School of Art and Design in Halle where she received her diploma. Steffen Kroll, born in 1968 in Harzgerode, studied product design at the School of Art and Design in Halle from 1992 to 1997. Together, the designers completed a graduate program in which they developed a pre-fab house. Studio Vertijet works for the companies COR, BREE, Jab Anstötz, SKIA, and on numerous freelance projects.
