Furniture manufacturing company Flötotto began in 1906 when Heinrich Flötotto opened his woodworking atelier in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. Within a few decades, the business expanded its focus from bespoke interiors to serial furniture production. At the end of World War II, Heinrich’s sons Fritz & Franz took the helm & began to build the brand’s reputation for durable, modern chairs, desks, shelving, & more for schools, offices, & institutions. Flötotto’s ergonomic, molded plywood (or pagholz) seating became ubiquitous in German classrooms through the postwar era. From 1969 to 1991, Flötotto was directed by a third generation: husband-and-wife teams Elmar & Anna Flötotto, Reinhard & Barbara Flötotto, & Hubertus & Ingrid Flötotto. in 1969, they launched the Optimal collection of adjustable-height student workspaces. in 1975, they introduced the award-winning, modular, beechwood Profilsystem furnishings line. Most recently, in 2012, Flötotto made headlines when it commissioned designer Konstantin Grcic to create a new line of school furniture, the award-winning PRO collection. PRO’s most characteristic feature is the S-shaped shell that enables a dynamic yet comfortable sitting experience, based on principles of “active sitting.” The family sold the business in 1998, but bought it back in 2002. Since 2008, Flötotto has been owned by Elmar Flötotto. Condition very very good. The price is for one. Thanks for visiting my shop. For additional questions, I am at your disposal.
