Jan Armgardt

(Germany, 1947)

He thinks it’s immoral to throw away a piece of furniture after a few years because it is worn out or old-fashioned. Armgardt therefore aims for durability and experiments with materials. In his opinion, paper is the material of the future. Jan Armgardt has designed for Leolux since 1974. Many of his creations appear timeless: Tango and Papageno, for example. The most recent product is Galathea. Armgardt is a guest teacher at Aachen University.
