Stilobjekt and showroom
Questions about consultations, furnishings and our showroom.
What does Stilobjekt do?
Stilobjekt brings together interior design, interior architecture and high-quality furnishings. We design residential and commercial spaces and help you choose suitable furniture and materials.
What kinds of spaces does Stilobjekt furnish?
Our portfolio includes offices, restaurants, hotels, bars and shops, as well as apartments and houses. You will find examples on our references page.
Where is the showroom?
You can find us at Meeraner Platz 5, 79539 Lörrach, Germany. You can also explore our showroom with the virtual tour on our website.
Should I make an appointment for a consultation?
We recommend making an appointment so we can take the time to discuss your requirements. Contact us on +49 7621 422 3 40 or email info@stilobjekt.com.
Does Stilobjekt provide delivery and assembly?
We deliver your new furniture and assemble it on site. We take the packaging away and dispose of it properly. We also handle customs formalities for our Swiss customers.
Private clients
Questions about consultation, selection, delivery and buying from Switzerland.
Do you also come to our home for the consultation?
Yes, we also advise you in your own home. That is the best place to judge the feel of the room, the light and the proportions.
Can you develop a complete interior concept, or do you also advise on individual pieces?
Both. On request we develop a complete interior concept with furniture, lighting, fabrics and materials. We are just as happy to advise you on choosing a single piece that suits your existing interior.
Which pieces can I try out or view in your showroom in Lörrach?
Our showroom presents a changing selection of sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, shelving systems and lighting from our brands. If you would like to try a particular model, please let us know in advance and we will tell you whether it is on display.
Are fabric and material samples available to take home?
Yes. As a rule you can take fabric, leather and material samples with you and assess them at home in your own light.
Do you have showroom pieces or discontinued models at reduced prices?
Yes, from time to time we offer showroom pieces and discontinued models at reduced prices. Please ask us about what is currently available.
How long does delivery of a custom-configured piece of furniture take?
Custom-configured furniture is made for you. The delivery time therefore depends on the respective manufacturer and on the specification. We will tell you the expected delivery date when you place your order.
Do you also deliver and assemble, and does that apply to customers in Switzerland as well?
Yes. We deliver and assemble with our own team, in Germany as well as in Switzerland.
How does buying as a Swiss customer work for tax purposes (export certificate, Swiss VAT)?
There are two ways:
- We deliver to Switzerland. We issue the invoice without German VAT but including Swiss VAT, and we handle the customs clearance.
- You take the goods with you. You first pay the gross price and receive an export certificate. You have this stamped by German customs before entering Switzerland. On presentation of the stamped certificate we refund the German VAT to you. On entry you declare the goods to Swiss customs if their value exceeds the value allowance, and pay the Swiss VAT there.
Consultation and planning
Questions from business clients about office planning, hybrid ways of working and workplace regulations.
Do you offer complete office planning, from needs analysis through to furnishing, or only the sale of individual products?
We offer both. We see you through the entire project: needs analysis, space and furnishing concept, product selection, delivery and assembly. We also advise and supply you if you only need individual products.
How do you proceed if we want to reorganise our space for hybrid working (desk sharing, quiet rooms, meeting zones)?
First we establish how your team actually works: attendance rates, the share of focused individual work, the need for meetings and for informal exchange. From this we derive a zoning concept that connects desk-sharing workstations, quiet areas, meeting areas and social spaces. On request we implement this in stages. That way you can gain experience and adjust the concept.
Do you produce 3D visualisations or floor plans before the order is placed, and is there a charge for them?
Yes, we produce floor plans and, on request, 3D visualisations so that you can assess your future spaces before deciding.
We charge separately for more extensive planning work and credit the amount against your order when you place it.
Do you take acoustics, ergonomics and the requirements of the German workplace regulations into account?
Yes. Our planning takes the German Workplace Ordinance and the associated Technical Rules (ASR) into account, for example on movement areas and circulation routes. Ergonomic workstations with height-adjustable desks and suitable task chairs, as well as room acoustics measures, are a fixed part of our planning.
Products and brands
Questions from business clients about manufacturers, samples and expandable systems.
Which manufacturers do you carry for contract projects?
We work with Vitra, USM, Febrü, THONET, Arper, Muuto, HAY, Silent Gliss, Miinu, Knoll, COR, PIURE, GUBI, Belux and FLOS, among others.
Can we test sample chairs in advance?
Yes. You can try out chairs in our showroom. For larger projects we can arrange for sample chairs to be placed in your own rooms for testing.
How easily can the furniture be expanded as our team grows, for example with USM?
Very easily. USM Haller is designed as a modular system. It can be expanded, reconfigured or recombined at any time, and components remain compatible for decades. Other systems we carry, such as table and bench solutions from Vitra, are also designed to be expanded. On request we plan from the outset so that later additions are straightforward.
Terms and handling
Questions from business clients about project quotes, delivery times and projects in Switzerland.
Do you offer project pricing or framework agreements for larger fit-outs or repeat orders?
Yes. For larger fit-outs we prepare individual project quotes. Where there is recurring demand, we agree framework terms for repeat orders.
What delivery times are currently realistic, and who coordinates delivery and assembly?
Delivery times depend on the manufacturer, the product and the specification. Our quote gives you binding dates. We coordinate delivery and assembly entirely ourselves, with our own installation team and as your single point of contact.
Do you also handle projects in Switzerland, including customs clearance and VAT?
Yes. Our location on the border with Basel means we regularly look after projects in Switzerland. We deliver to Switzerland and handle the entire customs clearance. We issue the invoice without German VAT but including Swiss VAT.
Sustainability and service
Questions from business clients about certificates, old furniture and support after handover.
Which certifications do the products on offer hold (for example Blauer Engel, Cradle to Cradle, Greenguard)?
That depends on the product. Many of the manufacturers we carry have their products certified independently, for example to Greenguard, Cradle to Cradle or the Blauer Engel standard. On request we compile the current certificates for the specific products quoted, for example for tenders or sustainability reports.
Do you take back old furniture or arrange for it to be reused?
Yes. When you place an order with us, we work out a solution for your existing furniture together: dismantling and proper disposal, finding new users for pieces in good condition, or take-back programmes run by individual manufacturers.
What warranty and service do you provide after handover?
Alongside the statutory warranty, the guarantees of the respective manufacturers apply. We remain your point of contact after handover as well: for complaints, spare parts, repeat orders, modifications and extensions.
We plan with you
When it comes to your specific project, no general answer will do. That is what we advise you on, in the showroom or at your location.
