Vintage Profilsystem Wardrobes by Elmar Flötotto for Flötotto, 1980s, Set of 2

About This Piece

Vintage Design

This pair of Wardrobes from the Profilsystem Collection, was designed by Elmar Flötotto for Flötotto, in Germany, during the 1980's. The principle behind the Profilsystem it is simple. The modules can be easily combined with one another. They become towers, islands or functional walls. Thanks to the stacking corners and connecting plates, they are stable and can be separated again at any time and regrouped as desired. Still produced today, this is a high-quality piece with profiles in natural beech, sanded round on all sides which is screwed to a full-frame construction with its specially developed corner connections. The surface color, an olive green, is unique and very typical from this period. With original tag. The wood and the green surface are in original and good condition.

About the Maker

Flötotto

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 and Franz took the helm and began to build the brand’s reputation for durable, modern chairs, desks, shelving, and more for schools, offices, and 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 and Anna Flötotto, Reinhard and Barbara Flötotto, and Hubertus and 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.
