MöbelFirst briefly explained
MöbelFirst was founded in Cologne in 2016 by Dennis T. Franken, Christoph Ritschel, Dr. Christoph Schug and Dr. Ralf Struthoff and is something special: every piece of furniture comes from a local specialist retailer and over 400 stores participate in Germany, Austria and Switzerland! The origins of MöbelFirst go back to the 1960s. It was Christoph Ritschel's grandfather, Wilhelm Varnholt, who had the idea of uniting joineries into a group and offering them a central sales platform: This is how the first platform in the furniture sector was founded: The Möbelkreis. With MöbelFirst, we have successfully transferred this idea into the digital age.
Today, our partners include the highest quality furniture stores. In addition, we are closely associated with the brands and manufacturers and are proud to count leading ones among our partners: Walter Knoll, Rolf Benz, Bielefelder Werkstätten, Thonet, Musterring, Stressless, Müller Small Living, ClassiCon (selection).
