We only sell licensed, authentic originals.

When you buy from us we offer the original, authentic design you're not just getting a chair or a table, you’re owning a piece of design history. These are the real-deal icons, crafted with care, precision and the materials they were meant to be made from. No shortcuts. No fakes. Just timeless design that looks good, feels right, and lasts decades. You're backing the artists, the makers, and the legacy of modern design while also investing in quality that holds its value. Plus, you're doing it the right way: ethically made, sustainably sourced, and supported by warranties that knockoffs can’t touch. Cool, conscious, and built to last, this is furniture with soul.

At Cimmermann we believe firmly in our motto, ‘Buy once, keep forever’, it's the way Matt and I live our lives, it's good for the planet and it can also be a great investment.

Why invest in an original?

Yes, good quality does cost more, but there is a lot of truth in the old saying "buy cheap, buy twice".

From a sustainability perspective, there are many hidden costs of cheap, fast furniture, not least the cost to the planet. Choosing pieces that have a story, that you know who designed them acreates connection between you and the things you buy.

Mid-century modern, vintage and modern design holds its value over time. Many of the classic, iconic pieces of furniture we sell were designed decades ago, but still feel modern today. Furniture that we know we can pass down to the next generation.

The feel of the buttery soft Eames Lounge Chair, the gently curved lines of a classic Carl Hansen + Son Wishbone Chair. When you touch them you are connected to the past, the present, and the future.

All products we sell from Knoll and Vitra come with a Certificate of Authenticity. When you buy a Carl Hansen product, it comes with a unique serial number and plaque.

vitra

Vitra say: "Invest in an original, for it will always retain its worth. An imitation will never be anything but a copy, a stolen idea. Appreciate the differences – not just the quality and more obvious variances, but also the sensory and emotional appeal of the authentic product. An original is a lifelong companion and may well outlive you to be gratefully received by the next generation. The high quality of the Original products allows Vitra to offer a 10-year guarantee on all of the chair models in the Originals selection."

knoll

When buying a Knoll original, you are buying the quality in deign, materials and manufacturing. Take the Barcelona chair for example, the handmade process involved in making it is time consuming, the upholsterer uses 40 Individual leather panels for the chair and 16 for the stool, the leather panels are cut, hand-welted and hand-tufted from a single cowhide. The Barcelona chair is often copied (a form of flattery in our opinion to the timelessness of the design) but never bettered, the Knoll original version is truly outstanding.
