As of late, Nils Holger Moormann is not just a designer and furniture maker but also a hostel operator. In Aschau, Bavaria, he has converted a heritage-protected building from the 17th century, which formerly served as bakery, Russian restaurant and most recently as a holiday home for pupils, into a hostel in Moormannic style.

“berge” is the name of this project, which comprises 13 individually designed apartments and is planned to establish itself as an unusual meeting point. “When we love mountains, we have to accept all their rules.” Nils Holger Moorman had good reasons to choose this wisdom uttered by French alpinist Jean-Christophe Lafaille for his berge project.

Giulio Ridolfo is no designer. But his creative contribution to the world of interior design is highly treasured. The graduate in fashion design, who once worked for Gianfranco Ferré and Tods & Hogan, is currently said to be the most sought-after career changer in the field of textile design.

Giulio Ridolfo’s patterns embellish the upholstery of Italian’s famous furniture producer Moroso; for Vitra the material expert composed a color system, he is the first Italian to join the design team of the renowned Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat and member of last year’s trendboard summoned by the imm cologne.

It’s only due to Patrizia Moroso that the former fashion designer actually came into contact with the furniture industry and finally started to work in the field. The businesswoman from Udine was looking for talents when she came across Ridolfo and finally engaged him as advisor. Since that time he is involved in the creation of textile collections, runs workshops for interior professionals on the launch of new collections, and in close cooperation with designers he develops the outer mantle – the “skin” – of their products.
