Barbara Funck (born 1969 in Munich) and Rainer Weckenmann (born 1966 in Stuttgart) founded neunzig° design in 1994, following Rainer’s recognition with the Bavarian State Prize for his diploma project. From the beginning, their focus has been on the objects and rituals of daily life, with the ambition to design products that are personal and lasting — individual creations for individual people.
Their philosophy is rooted in the pursuit of true qualities, the kind we cherish in close friends: to create companions that stay with us over time. They seek innovation, a distinctive spark that makes a product stand out, something that resonates emotionally and touches the heart. Believing firmly in the power of beauty, they develop products to the highest standards of quality and design, without compromise.
In Boffi they found a partner aligned with their vision of bringing bold ideas to life. Their Folio washbasin (2003) was widely acclaimed as a trend-setting product, followed by the Skyline system in 2011 — a “non-system system” for the bathroom — and in 2014, the SP14 mirror. Each project reflects their consistent commitment to originality, clarity, and timeless design.
