Made in Germany

Krimberg stands for exceptional furniture that combines innovative design and perfect craftsmanship. With sometimes radically new approaches, the company’s products often oscillate between the poles of function and aesthetics.

The man behind Krimberg is Andreas Ben Esser, who comes from a family of sculptors and, after training as a metalworker, studied architecture and design at the Peter Behrens School of Architecture in Düsseldorf. He then gained several years’ practical experience as a project manager in the studio of architect Hadi Teherani. As an independent designer, he focused on developments for German and Italian manufacturers. He founded Krimberg in 2014. One of the first product developments was the minimalist outdoor furniture T. Today, the Krimberg range comprises more than ten products.
