Thinking ahead, interpreting classics in a new way.

mauser is known as one of the few companies that has been passionate about manufacturing steel furniture since the Bauhaus era. In 120 years of company history, mauser has reinvented itself over and over again, continuing the successful production of its furniture systems. As per mauser’s motto ‘Start thinking ahead – with mauser’, the company presents itself with new ideas regarding the office environments of today and tomorrow. At the same time, it reflects on the ‘mauser DNA’ and relaunches mauser classics in a functional modern look.

xitan.s – components for a new cabinet design.

With its new storage system xitan.s, mauser puts the focus on the topic ‘Storage space as architecture’. “xitan.s is the detailing of architecture, with the vertical as well as horizontal alignment clearly defined. Its structured design provides planning security and great creativity. xitan.s makes a dignified and compact first impression. A closer look reveals details, possibilities and precision”, says designer Markus Bischof. A new linearity in design was achieved by the perfect handling of steel. Whether you require no fronts at all, hinged doors with a push-to-open mechanism, sliding doors with embedded handles or tambour doors without visual ribs – all fronts of equal carcass size are identical right down to the last millimetre and are continuously enclosed by an extremely slim edge. Even when combining different elements with each other side by side or stacking elements of equal width on top of each other, the slim edge always shapes the homogenous overall appearance by acting as an optic frame.

Various configurations can be created by simply adding elements. Carcasses of equal width are positively joined and stacked on top of each other, thanks to the concave lid geometry and elastic corner brackets. This is where the design sets standards for a new free play of space. Regarding its function, xitan.s convinces with concealed series punching, various possibilities of organisational equipment, a flexible plinth, which conceals unattractive cable management, and the option to have a detachable steel tray, felt pad or linoleum inlay as top cover for cabinets in counter height.

Whether it is used as an integrated component, assigned to specific workplaces or serves as a space-structuring element – xitan.s is design component and storage space at the same time. A system offering a new view of office landscape.

varitos.c – brings dynamic to the office.

For years, the award-winning workplace system varitos.c has been contributing to maintaining the health of customers’ employees. The sit/stand version – for example, equipped with electromotive height adjustment ranging from 650 – 1250 mm and optional memory function – encourages people to change working positions and provides a ‘healthy dose’ of exercise in the office. Now available with the motivating reminder function ‘motion by mauser’. This Jens Korte design picks up on the traditional design vocabulary of classic steel tube furniture and projects it into the 21st century.

element.x – the creative dimension of interior design.

As a modular system, element.x offers a wide range of fascinating architectural solutions and provides architects and space planners with an exciting spectrum of new options. Not only from a creative and visually expressive point of view, but also in functional terms of being able to meet even the most challenging and complex of requirements. element.x can create either screening or unobstructed visual axes, be a monolithic structure or meander in a continuous line through any space. When units are stacked, the corner connectors form a visually striking ‘x’, which gives the system its name.

The basic elements in different heights and widths can be freely combined with each other, even when turned by 180°. The elements are available with either no fronts, hinged doors, sliding doors, drawers or flap doors. Newly presented are elements for living areas featuring a new elegant frame. element.x won the German Design Award and iF Design award for good reasons.
