AUTHENTICITY IN SHOP FITTING
Nobody likes to be in a store having to sit on cheap chairs in a careless, sober atmosphere. The competition is massive. Impressive interiors make the difference. Interiors with armchairs like our lillus wembley. The emotional and comfortable seating increases awareness of the product range and the length of time we spend in the shop, especially in high-quality shop-fitting.
Prof. Moths Architekten, an interdisciplinary architecture firm from Hamburg, Germany, has shown how this works with the new sports department in the north German fashion house L&T Lengermann & Trieschmann.

How it all began … This is where it all started: In the year 2006 we developed a football chair for the FIFA World Cup Trophy Tour by Coca-Cola to present the trophy with events in Rome, Zurich and Athens. Together with the trophy, the armchairs traveled around the world. In the years after, other models followed as well as formal revisions, a second, smaller shell, alternative under frames and more authentic materials.
With our extraordinary ball chairs and ball armchairs today we literally play the ball to you: to all architects, designers, planners, interior decorators, as well as the sports industry, sporting goods manufacturers, sports service providers and sports management.
Thanks to very special materials, a large type plan that allows numerous applications, and a wide array of customisation options.
