More about ag möbelfabrik horgenglarus

We are thrilled to welcome ag möbelfabrik horgenglarus, Switzerland’s oldest chair and table manufacturer, to the pCon community. Established in 1880 in Horgen near Zurich and expanded in 1902 to include the company’s workshop in Glarus, ag möbelfabrik horgenglarus is Switzerland’s oldest manufacturer of chairs and tables. In terms of design and quality, it has ranked among the world’s finest furniture makers for more than 140 years. Le Corbusier, for example, exhibited chairs crafted by horgenglarus at his “Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau” at the “Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs” in Paris as perfect representations of contemporary and trend-setting interior design.

This innovative approach remains unchanged to this day: At horgenglarus, the focus is still on the characteristic combination of form and function. It’s a philosophy that is widely recognised: Classic, consummate design, timelessness and exceptional workmanship are the criteria by which horgenglarus has been awarded the accolade “World Class—Made in Switzerland.” The company is bringing the classic ideals of New Simplicity to the 21st century by combining traditional know-how and highly-skilled craftsmanship with cutting-edge, CNC-controlled production machinery.

In addition to exclusive technical standards (e.g., wood bending or bentwood furniture), the company has always maintained a meticulous design culture. The company’s collections have become archetypes of Swiss furniture-making and continue to be produced today. For example, the classic model dating back to 1918 remains an integral part of the portfolio and has long since achieved undisputed cult status.

Throughout the last century, the high standards applied to product design, execution and durability drew the leading Swiss furniture designers—Moser, Haefeli, Bill, Bellmann, Haussmann, Wettstein among others—to Glarus to have their designs realised. This privileged position in design history and the associated expertise enables horgenglarus to counter the trends towards mass-production and the outsourcing of production skills with a strong tradition of designed work and through innovative collaboration with selected furniture designers and architects.

Configurable Data in pCon: Empowering Creative Freedom

With the addition of horgenglarus’s configurable data to the pCon platform, architects and interior designers gain powerful tools to bring these high-quality designs into any project. The pCon technology allows users to tailor each horgenglarus product to their specifications—whether in size, finish, or material. This flexibility not only helps envision how each piece will integrate into unique spaces but also enables designers to adjust and personalize products, ensuring they meet both aesthetic and practical requirements.

Why Configurable Data Matters

Configurable data offers designers and architects a significant advantage in planning and presentation. Being able to interact with horgenglarus’s pieces digitally makes it easier to communicate ideas with clients, helping them envision a piece in the context of their own space. This hands-on approach reduces planning times, prevents costly adjustments, and simplifies complex design processes. With horgenglarus now available in pCon, designers can leverage their timeless products seamlessly, providing clients with a blend of heritage and innovation, backed by the flexibility and precision that configurable data offers.
