Rolf Benz

Rolf Benz is a German furniture maker founded in 1964 by the upholsterer Rolf Benz in Nagold, on the edge of the Black Forest, with the ambition of redesigning seating. Its first range, Addiform, broke with conventional sofa arrangements through flexible elements that could be recombined into individual furniture landscapes.

Seating remains the core, joined over the years by dining tables, beds and cabinets, all produced in Germany in the company’s own plants in Mötzingen and Pfalzgrafenweiler. The portfolio runs from modular systems such as Nuvola to the freistil line for younger lifestyles and a contract collection for hotels and offices; the 6500 sofa has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
