As a amily enterprise, ClassiCon works primarily with small to medium-sized, mostlyowner-operated businesses. Almost all o them are in Germany, many even in the immediate

vicinity o Munich. Our products thus benefit rom the close collaboration betweenthe designers, our developers and suppliers. Tanks to these ongoing working relationshipsand our mostly small-scale production, we are able to offer individual variants o ourcontemporary urniture or larger quantities.

Handmade in Germany

lassiCon and a passion for craft

Our urniture is not machine-made in series, but rather passes through the hands omany experienced crafspeople. All o them are specialists in working with materialsuch as wood, glass or metal, or in the fields o upholstery, painting or finishing.

Teir experience with material selection and processing ensures long-lasting productswhose aesthetics stand the test o time as they age in dignity and maintain their use-ulness or decades. Tese objects are the perect counterweight to todays throwaway

mentality, helping to ease the burden on the environment.
