Metal Frame For select models, we use a **powder-coated steel frame** to support the structure.

The steel comes from the region, is sourced through Elgora near Berlin—a cooperatively organized trading structure—and produced in Eisenhüttenstadt. This ensures short transport routes and correspondingly low CO₂ emissions. The powder coating is applied locally near our warehouse in Eberswalde near Berlin.

Metal allows for slimmer profiles, precise lines, and long-term structural stability.

In many cases, we combine metal with wood to achieve the right balance between stability, comfort, and durability.

What is piping?
Piping is a visible, slightly raised seam edging found on upholstered furniture.
It is sewn between two layers of fabric or leather and accentuates lines and transitions.

In addition to its decorative effect, piping can also reinforce the seam and more clearly highlight the contours of a piece of furniture.

Effect
A piece of furniture with piping usually appears more precise and classic.
Without piping, it appears more understated and modern.

At Sternzeit Design
We use piping selectively as a stylistic element—not as a mandatory feature.
The stability of our furniture is based on the overall construction, regardless of this.

Why We Use Beech and Oak
We primarily work with beech and oak because they reflect our philosophy on furniture: honest materials, local sourcing, and long-term durability.

Instead of imported tropical woods, we focus on wood that grows closer to home and meets our standards for quality and durability.

Available options:

• Beech wood with walnut stain
• Oak wood with a natural finish

Custom orders
Upon request, we can also craft your furniture from other European woods that meet our quality standards.

Fabric Color
The fabric color may appear different depending on lighting, surroundings, and screen settings.

We recommend viewing fabric swatches in your own room to get the most realistic impression of the color and material.

Natural materials and dyed fabrics may exhibit slight variations—this is part of their character and not a defect.

Order fabric samples
We offer fabric samples so you can compare colors and materials at your leisure at home.

Discover the world of fabric swatches
Fabric swatches are essential tools for designers, interior decorators, and anyone planning to renovate their home or business space. These swatches offer a preview of the textiles that will be used later. They help youmake the right choice by giving you a sense of color, texture, and material.

There is a wide variety of fabric swatches. Some popular types include cotton, linen, silk, wool, and synthetic fabrics. Each fabric has its own advantages and can be chosen based on the application and budget. Cotton, for example, is very popular because of its softness and breathability, while silk is often preferred for its luxurious feel and sheen.

Choosing the right fabric pattern can make a big difference when it comes to designing a living or workspace. A well-chosen fabric pattern can dramatically transform a room’s ambiance. From cool, serene tones to bright, vibrant patterns, everything can enchant a space and create cohesion. Choosing the right materials also helps ensure the comfort and longevity of furniture and decorative items.

Another key consideration when selecting fabric patterns is resistance to wear and stains. Especially in high-traffic areas, such as living rooms or offices, it is important to choose fabrics that are durable and easy to clean. Therefore, fabrics with special coatings or treatments that make them more robust and resilient are highly valuable.

In addition to their practical applications, fabric patterns also have an aesthetic dimension. Patterns can, for example, help define the style and theme of a room. Traditional patterns like stripes and checks create a classic atmosphere, while modern geometric or abstract patterns can add a contemporary touch. It’s also a good idea to combine different patterns to create visual depth and interest.

Overall, fabric patterns are an indispensable part of both interior design and the fashion world. They offer a wealth of possibilities for personalizing and enhancing living and workspaces. Whether you’re looking for a new look for your living room or want to introduce a fresh style to your office, choosing the right fabric patterns can make the difference between an ordinary and an extraordinary space.
