Concept
In 1954, Herbert Hirche designed a shelving system, defined by functional simplicity and precisely designed details. Back then, the system was produced for some years by Christian Holzäpfel KG. 2019 Richard Lampert is re-introducing the shelf. ›Hirche DHS10‹ consists of tubular steel ›ladders‹, in which shelves, back panels or cabinet units are inserted. The individual components can be combined as desired, offering many different configurations and applications. A modern shelving system featuring the design principles of an era that was highly significant in the history of German industrial design.

Herbert Hirche
Germany
Herbert Hirche, born in Görlitz in 1910, studied cabinet making at the Bauhaus in Dessau and Berlin from 1930 to 1933, including studying under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, at whose office he worked until 1938. Collaboration with Egon Eiermann and Hans Schauron was followed by appointment as Professor at the Hochschule für angewandte Kunst, Berlin-Weißensee, and in 1952 at the Staatliche Akademie für Bildende Künste, Stuttgart. As its Rector, as founding member of the Deutscher Werkbund Berlin, as President of the Verband Deutscher Industriedesigner (VDID), and as member of the German Design Council, Hirche was one of the formative German designers of the post-war period until his death in 2002. In addition to many furniture ranges, for example the 480 range which was shown as the World Exposition in Brussels in 1958, he designed an administration building for Wilkhahn (1960).
