next home collection
It was in 1999 at the design fair in Leipzig, Germany, where Thomas Schulte discovered Dicke Trude and made the acquaintance of Constantin Wortmann. Dicke Trude (which roughly translates as “Fat Trudy”) is the playful name of a versatile, rechargeable light. It can be attached to even surfaces with a suction cup and is switched on and off simply by squeezing it. It was created by the aforementioned Constantin Wortmann and by Benjamin Hopf, who had then been collaborating in a design firm operating under the name Büro für Form. The idea of Dicke Trude made a lasting impression on Schulte.
By the year 2000 Thomas Schulte had gone on to found his own company, next home collection, in order to market a variety of design lights – among them Dicke Trude, FlapFlap and Liquid_Light, all of which were designed by Büro für Form, Hopf&Wortmann. Right from the start, the cooperation between Thomas Schulte and Constantin Wortmann has always been a very close one based on partnership. Wortmann designed the next corporate identity and has also conceived all of next’s photo productions, catalogues and trade fair booths.
At the 2004 trade fair Light+Building in Frankfurt, Germany next presented the new Molecular_Light, another remarkable design by Büro für Form. The introduction of Molecular_Light has also heralded a new trend for the next collection. The focus was now clearly moving away from lights like Dicke Trude, playful designs with a tongue in cheek approach, and more into the direction of luminaires designed with a strong regard for interior architecture. Liquid_Light for example is still part of the collection today and the line has even been expanded, with the versions Drop_2, the smaller Drop_3 and the terrific Drop_4 exterior light. Thomas Schulte’s comment: “My aim is to create a comfortable interior for people with our lights. I believe that the next collection offers contemporary design and always helps to create the appropriate atmosphere, at home as well as in representative architectural objects.” The philosophy is to create lights which are enjoyable. Sophisticated, yes – but never elitist.
In 2005 next’s offices opened shop in Cologne under the management of Margret Bernardy, a business acquaintance of Thomas Schulte’s for 20 years. Bernardy took over sales and proved to be an invaluable gain for next. At Euroluce trade fair of that year, next introduced the luminaire Downlight by Volker Albus, honoured with the International Design Award of the State of Baden-Württemberg. With her genuine enthusiasm and a thorough expertise of the subject Margret Bernardy managed to win over new customers and retail partners for next. The next map expanded steadily: Baldham - Munich - Berlin - Cologne. Scattered across the whole of Germany small teams worked on new ideas about light, illumination and design.
Looking back at the year 2006 it becomes apparent just how much next had developed by then. Liquid_Light was illuminating Jamie Oliver’s restaurant Fifteen in Cornwall. The presentation at Light+Building exceeded all expectations, introducing the new lights DNA, Cao Mao and Birdie nam nam. Public attention was both international and overwhelming. With DNA next was moving into a new direction. The luminaire’s almost organic structure develops from a simple basic element and can grow into to a light object of every desired size. Within only a short time DNA became one of the most popular luminaires of the next collection.
In 2007 Thomas Schulte initiated a collaboration with Dutch designer J.P. Meulendijks. The result could be admired at Light+Building 2008: Blade. Blade has three shades, which can be moved separately. Arranged in a circular starting position they can be spread in propeller-like fashion to a diameter of two meters. Additionally, next introduced four versions of Alien by Constantin Wortmann – truly an Alien invasion. Both luminaries were greatly received. The tremendous acceptance held on during Euroluce 2009 and was promoted even further by the international press.
Now – in 2010 – next home collection is celebrating its ten-year anniversary. With a nostalgic glance back into the past next introduces the re-design FlapFlap° 10. But next is also taking a look into the future with NLC - a new luminaire by Constantin Wortmann. Be surprised!
