The Thut Möbel com­pany was founded 80 years ago in Möriken (AG) and is today being run by the third gen­er­a­tion. The Fed­eral Au­thor­i­ties are pay­ing trib­ute to this fam­ily busi­ness which has en­joyed con­tin­u­ous suc­cess for its in­no­v­a­tive en­tre­pre­neur­ial spirit and in­com­pa­ra­ble de­sign which Kurt Thut and his son still shape today.
Kurt Thut has turned the fur­ni­ture join­ery founded by his fa­ther into a busi­ness with an in­ter­na­tional rep­u­ta­tion through the cre­ative use of new ma­te­ri­als and tech­nolo­gies. His com­mit­ment to de­sign re­duc­tion is per­haps best re­flected in a con­stantly re­cur­ring theme: the fold­ing scis­sors motif. For in­stance, the fold­ing scis­sors bed con­sists of a sim­ple grid which is ad­justed to the needs of the cus­tomer and is easy to trans­port as it weighs just 28 kg. This con­vinc­ing and seem­ingly self-ev­i­dent so­lu­tion is the out­come of a de­sign process last­ing for many years which was pre­ceded by count­less ideas and pro­to­types.
Today Ben­jamin and Daniel Thut are suc­cess­fully con­tin­u­ing the man­u­fac­ture of fur­ni­ture pieces. With out­stand­ing per­sonal com­mit­ment and the cre­ative en­ergy of their fa­ther, they are ex­tend­ing the prod­uct range to in­clude cre­ations which con­tinue to serve use­ful func­tions and are typ­i­fied by high qual­ity. Amus­ing so­lu­tions which are im­me­di­ately rec­og­niz­able make these fur­ni­ture pieces clas­sics of Swiss de­sign his­tory.
