It's better to sleep well: everyone knows from experience that night-time regeneration plays an important role in our mental and emotional health. Getting a good night’s sleep ensures a high quality of life. A pleasant, unencumbered environment in which the body can rest helps with this. With natural wood beds, an ergonomically designed bed interior and high-quality bed accessories, TEAM 7 creates the perfect conditions for that.

In recent years, working from home has evolved from a marginal phenomenon to a familiar and popular way of working. Initially just a temporary solution during the coronavirus pandemic, it is now firmly established in many industries. This cultural shift also poses new challenges for the design of our own four walls. TEAM 7 helps to harmonise living and working with flexible natural wood furniture.

Holistic living with wood is currently experiencing a real renaissance. There are many reasons for this: The natural material combines timeless beauty with durability, healthy living with sustainability and is therefore becoming increasingly popular in modern interior design. With its comprehensive expertise in wood, TEAM 7 enables the design of complete interior architectures - customised and tailored to personal preferences. This results in individual room concepts that combine a clear design language and natural aesthetics.

Children‘s rooms are more than just bedrooms. In their very own personal realm, children give free rein to their imagination, they play and romp, fool around, laze around and only come to rest when they are tired. The kids programme from TEAM 7 aims to create just such a place for children in their own home: with functional furniture that offers plenty of scope for creative design options - and a natural environment for healthy growing up.

TEAM 7 designs flowing transitions and holistic living concepts with harmonious materials, functional sophistication and millimetre-precise adjustments. To achieve this, every detail is precisely coordinated. All kitchens are individually planned and custom-made to meet personal requirements and spatial characteristics: from simple kitchen units to complex eat-in kitchens with kitchen islands, from handcrafted country kitchens to purist designer kitchens.

It was the first type of wood that TEAM 7 used to make natural wood furniture and still stands for the company's sustainable philosophy today: alder. Because its wood grows back quickly, is extremely hard-wearing and also impresses visually with its lightness and elegance, it is high time for a comeback. The surface finish with white oil and new attractive planning options in all living areas ensure this.

The elliot lounge chair by designer Lucie Koldova is the highlight of this year's TEAM 7 innovations. Casual and elegant, the design plays with clear shapes and fine details, with purist lightness and voluminous comfort. Its fresh aesthetics and consistently sustainable design not only reflect the high standards of natural wood furniture manufacturer TEAM 7, but also make it a design classic of tomorrow. This is precisely why elliot is part of this year's "Design Palazzo Austria" - an initiative of AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA, in close cooperation with the Austrian Furniture Industry. The exhibition will take place as part of the Salone del Mobile from 16 to 21 April 2024 in Milan in the historic rooms of the "Palazzo Confalonieri - Fondazione Cariplo". Excitingly staged by the architects Vasku&Klug, selected Austrian products from various sectors will be presented, which are characterised by their special quality, innovation and future-oriented design.

Clever nuances and an indispensable attention to detail are what make TEAM 7’s solid wood furniture a unique addition to any home. This is also reflected in the occasional furniture belonging to the cubus, cubus pure and filigno ranges: the designs are characterised by a pure solid wood aesthetic and exciting contrasts between homogenous glass surfaces and the vibrant natural grain pattern of the wood. Our new square doors with criss-cross division offer even more variety when it comes to the planing options available.

At first glance, the filigno writing desk looks like a dresser. In actual fact, the design conceived by Sebastian Desch combines a clear, minimalist aesthetic with ample storage space and a host of surprising technical features – and can be transformed into a comfortable workspace in next to no time.

Comfortable handling meets a linear, ultra-minimalist design: by introducing finely crafted recessed grips for top and bottom cabinets, TEAM 7 is offering its customers more creative freedom when designing their kitchen. The ingeniously constructed, precisely dimensioned recess makes it delightfully easy to open hinged doors, drawers and pull-outs – while consistently pursuing the idea of a sleek, minimalist kitchen design with clear lines.In order to seamlessly turn this vision into a reality, we needed to employ creativity and expertise: that’s why TEAM 7 designed a new element system specifically for this purpose, carefully taking into account the design requirements of the new style of handle. The pur kitchen was designed by Sebastian Desch.

The glass sculptures, iconic lights and timeless pieces of furniture designed by Lucie Koldova showcase her expressive, atmospheric approach to her art. And now, the designer has created a signature piece that reflects the philosophy of the TEAM 7 brand and the architecture of the new TEAM 7 World: the elliot lounge chair. The refreshing reinterpretation of the classic lounge chair is made from renewable materials, provides ultimate comfort and captivates with a design that’s as bold as it is casual.

With its vibrant grain and characteristic colour tones, solid wood takes the aesthetic of the kitchen to a whole new level. This is palpable with all TEAM 7 products, including our kitchen innovations for 2024. A particular highlight of the 2024 innovations is the pur kitchen.

TEAM 7 is starting 2024 with exciting new products and further developments. The focus is on even more design freedom for natural living. The elliot lounge chair was created in collaboration with designer Lucie Koldova. It reflects the TEAM 7 brand and the TEAM 7 world - modern, expressive and sustainable through and through. The wood type alder white oil is a new addition to the entire range. With its light-colored surface, it fits perfectly into contemporary home architecture and requires only a short growing time compared to other types of wood. New fabric collections and color worlds create even more scope for individual planning.

Kids’ rooms are more than just bedrooms – they are complete little worlds of their own. This is not just where our young ones sleep or even work, it’s also where they romp and lark around, play and relax. That makes it all the more important to furnish them in a way that makes children feel cosy and safe. The flexible kids range from TEAM 7 lives up to these expectations and more: solid wood furniture in design styles that are simple and restrained, but always child-friendly. They are robust and yet functionally sophisticated. And because little ones always seem to grow too quickly, TEAM 7 kids furniture simply grows with them.

“The pure beauty of solid wood – combined with the details of artistic craftsmanship to create a spectacular aesthetic. miró is carved from the wood on which sophisticated flying saucers soar.”
Designer Sebastian Desch

All-round perfection in every detail: the new miró dining table by TEAM 7’s Head of Design Sebastian Desch is reminiscent of a futuristic, apparently weightless object floating in space. Inspired by the works of the Catalan artist Joan Miró, its design echoes the interplay of symbolic forms of the sun, moon and stars that were typical of his style. Clean, elegant design lines are complemented by beautifully handcrafted details to create a work of art that is both highly practical and ergonomically sophisticated.

TEAM 7 has established itself as a globally recognized benchmark in both the living and kitchen sectors. With its innovations in design, function and technology, the successful brand is once again providing new impetus. For example, with the kids program by designer Stefan Radinger, the new miró dining table by TEAM 7 Head of Design Sebastian Desch, and the creative new products from the lui chair family by Jacob Strobel. New design details and technical innovations also inspire in the natural wood kitchens. For example, the new high-tech flap hinge, which, in combination with the aluminum frame fronts of the wall units, enables a particularly clean look.

Furniture made from solid wood adds a special cosy touch to a room. Wood is calming and relaxing, exuding a sensual warmth. Characteristics that transform a bedroom into a place of comfort and wellbeing. Naturally finished, open-pore wood absorbs moisture and releases it gradually back into the room – helping to maintain a pleasant indoor air quality. A key feature of TEAM 7 solid wood beds is their metal-free construction. These meticulous construction methods are emphasised by the outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail that is pivotal to the way TEAM 7’s carpenters work. The company offers an extensive range of bed designs and wood types to choose from, as well as perfectly fitted mattress systems and accessories for supremely healthy sleep.

When carefully considered design and innovative technology meet cosiness and pure solid wood, the result is a modern living space: the wohnofficeT7. This concept by TEAM 7 is redefining the connection between living, nature and working, going beyond the simple design of a home office area. wohnofficeT7 puts people and their health in the spotlight. The technical and ergonomic requirements are determined by the duration and type of work. The enormous range of products offered by TEAM 7 creates unique possibilities for holistic designs. Home working is increasingly taking over private spaces, calling for intelligent design solutions. TEAM 7 is rising to this challenge, with adept interior concepts for professional home working. Concepts that captivate with their cosy feel, sophisticated functions and superior craftsmanship, and adapt flexibly to individual needs.

Pure nature: the cubus living range inspires with handcrafted details and a high level of wood expertise, and all this is impressively accentuated by the characteristic 25 mm thick solid wood top. For wood lovers who want even more physicality, TEAM 7 has now developed another top board version. With its remarkable thickness of 39 mm, it brings the original strength and beauty of solid wood even more into focus – in terms of how it feels and how it looks. This gives the cubus wall units a delightfully new and purely modern look that exudes a passion for solid wood and a dynamic appeal.

Thanks to the clear stylistic elements, subtle details and the unique beauty of solid wood, TEAM 7 combines living areas to create a cosy home. Multifaceted occasional furniture such as sideboards and highboards – which inspire with their individual design, generous storage space and sophisticated functionality – ensure flowing transitions. For example, the sideboards are equipped with a new fitting for flush-fitted sliding doors that does not require electricity and is based on a purely mechanical solution. Without cable spaghetti or power socket. Moves quietly and is easy to install.

This is where contracts are hammered out, business deals agreed and plots hatched. It’s a symbol of hospitality and family togetherness and invites us to be sociable. We’re talking about the table. Whatever its form or colour, a dining table is essential in every household and generally occupies a prominent position. This is where we get together, where memories are made, and where we simply enjoy the moment – and delicious food, prepared with love. The joy of these experiences and how they make us feel is deeply embedded in the philosophy behind the echt.zeit table from solid wood specialist TEAM 7. TEAM 7 furniture is handcrafted from premium solid wood – full of life, expressive and authentic.

A small swivel from the desk to the filing cabinet, a few centimetres to the right to the printer and from there to the left to the wall calendar – the new lui office swivel chair brings mobility to the wohnofficeT7. In addition to flexibility and agility, the ergonomics of an office chair are particularly important – after all, you often spend several hours at a time sitting down. That's why TEAM 7 has equipped the lui office swivel chair with a 3D movement mechanism with 12° rocking function in all directions. This ensures dynamic sitting that’s kind to your back. With the lui office swivel chair, TEAM 7 is once again expanding the large lui chair family around lui, lui plus and grand lui and offers even more options with the swivel base.

The TEAM 7 promise: pure natural ingredients only, to protect the essential characteristics of the wonderful natural material, wood.
Anyone who’s familiar with the “Reinheitsgebot” probably associates it primarily with beer. This centuries-old German regulation preserves the traditional quality and character of beer by insisting that only certain specific ingredients may be used to brew it. And the Austrian firm TEAM 7 makes a similar promise for its solid wood furniture, made exclusively from carefully selected materials. This pioneer of eco-friendly furniture has its own “Reinheitsgebot” – promising pure natural ingredients only, to protect the essential characteristics of the wonderful natural material, wood.

“Clear aesthetics, professional features, pure solid wood. pisa combines the modern home office with the appeal of a natural home environment where home and work blend perfectly into one.”_{designer Kai Stania}
Ergonomic, comfortable, aesthetic: the new pisa desk meets the high demands placed on a modern office companion with a sophisticated lightness of style. This continuously height-adjustable desk allows flexible working. The central design element of the innovative desk by TEAM 7 is the striking, diagonal metal column with integrated lifting technology. It references the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and is a real eye-catcher compared to the classic bases. In addition to its appearance, the desk is also impressive in terms of ergonomics: it can be adjusted to any height from 67 to 115 cm, adapts to individual needs with millimetre precision and can be enjoyed both sitting and standing.

"Here at TEAM 7 we don't just build beautiful furniture. We're also commited to living in harmony with nature."
Dr Georg Emprechtinger

The TEAM 7 brand is a promise of quality. As a pioneer of natural home interiors, we have established a new design concept with international success: eco-friendly designer furniture. Natural, sustainable, premium quality. That’s what TEAM 7 stands for, with custom-made solid wood furniture, smart furnishing systems and high quality, environmentally friendly products, made in Austria. At TEAM 7 we appreciate the true value of wood. Our new products for 2022 reflect this understanding. You can feel our love of wood in every piece of our furniture.

Today’s bedrooms are not just for sleeping – they are part of our daytime life too. After a relaxed breakfast in bed, it’s time for a workout on the exercise bike, followed by the beauty routine at the make-up table. Next we can check emails in the integrated home office. Modern bedrooms are multi-taskers, full of sophisticated functionality. TEAM 7 is a specialist in smart systems intelligence. This solid wood furniture maker from Austria combines premium quality with elegant design and craftsmanship to create bedroom areas with added value. Natural, open and functional. It is not just the supremely comfortable bed and bedding which create a feeling of luxury, but also the beautifully organised wardrobe system, versatile occasional furniture and sense of wellbeing that comes from natural materials.

Ttoday, on 6 July 2021, Georg Emprechtinger, CEO and owner, and Joint Managing Director Hermann Pretzl welcomed guests to the ground-breaking ceremony for the new TEAM 7 Welt at Ried im Innkreis. An impressive new building, with a total floor area of 6100 m², will take shape at the headquarters of this prestigious manufacturer of sustainable solid wood furniture. It will be a four-storey timber-frame construction – an embodiment of TEAM 7’s love of solid wood combined with authentic craftsmanship and modern technology. The building was designed by the architecture firm Matulik, in consultation with TEAM 7, and is being built by the timber construction specialists WIEHAG.

Is cooking still a chore for you or is it an enjoyable part of everyday life? Those planning a new kitchen generally hope it will be more than just a place for housework. These days, a lot goes on around the cooker. Appliances are elegantly concealed behind attractive furniture, walls are passé and kitchens are gradually expanding into the rest of our living space. Spacious, free-standing designs blur the boundaries between living spaces.

Companies that think outside the box, with global perspectives and sustainable principles, pioneering new directions, are trendsetters that shape the future. TEAM 7 is one of these. This solid wood furniture maker from Austria made a commitment to the "green path" a long time ago, and over the last few decades the company has given eco-friendly furniture a complete facelift.

In these times of digitalisation, high tech and global networking, there is a growing need for oases of calm. Our homes in particular should be a place where we feel able to slow down. Natural materials create a rich sensory aesthetic.

Cooking with freshly harvested, healthy and delicious organic ingredients is very much in trend. TEAM 7 kitchens are created with similar values. The Austrian furniture maker combines artisan craftsmanship with timelessly elegant design, sophisticated technology and sustainable principles.

An often overlooked but actually essential room in every house and apartment is the entry hall. It is the first thing that you notice when you come home. It should feel inviting and cosy while also offering storage space for shoes, jackets, coats and umbrellas. That's why the right furnishings are so important. An inviting reception space combines the beautiful with the practical. At TEAM 7, this combination is particularly valued. By using solid wood, the room appears inviting and warm; at the same time it reveals a sophisticated functionality that can be customised for each individual space.

Great events cast their glow ahead of themselves: soccer fans are already in a World Cup fever and this summer many households are totally wrapped up in the viewing. While the TV is running in full swing, the living room is clearly gaining ground as the most popular living space during the Football World Championship in Russia. Guests are coming, the family is waving flags and together the fans root for their favourite teams in front of the screen. These events are even more appealing if the furnishings also play along with perfect entertainment features.

The cosy feeling of home begins when we step through the door. Entry hall furnishings by TEAM 7 ensure just that through their impressive range of components which perfectly suit all personal needs. Top-quality natural wood bestows the entry area with an inviting first impression, not least because of its many functional elements. Well thought out down to the smallest details, cubus entry hall furniture always provides the perfect solution for every taste.

The riletto bed by TEAM 7 guarantees perfect relaxation. Its recessed slides make the bedstead seem to float in the room while its fine proportions provide it with a stylish optical lightness, despite its size. The riletto bed easily adapts to individual customer requirements. It is flexibly extensible with a padded or wooden headboard as well as matching consoles and nightstands that grant extra storage and surface areas.

TEAM 7 loves wood and innovative designs. The wall panelling Waldkante ('Forest Edge') by TEAM 7 makes it possible to live in nature. Manufactured from top-quality, untreated, natural oak, alder or walnut wood it makes for an exceptional, innovative look harmoniously corresponding to other timbers of the furniture or creating a captivating contrast with glass, stone and metal surfaces.

A delicate lightness characterises TEAM 7’s seamless connection between the dining and kitchen areas, which they will be presenting at the imm cologne 2017: filigno is the name of the new range, with elegant, sleekly designed solid wood sideboards and highboards that reflect their formal counterpart in the kitchen of the same name.

This year, two products of wood furniture specialist TEAM 7 are awarded the renowned iF Design Award. Both desk tak and secretary sol won over the jury, which consisted of 58 members. The two models from now on can proudly carry the treasured seal of quality. The pioneer of sustainable wood furniture once more proved that at TEAM 7, nature, design, and innovative technologies belong together.

Always focusing on the bigger picture, and always ready to take the next step – TEAM 7 builds on its role as a leading provider of unique solid wood design furniture. In Cologne, the Austrian manufacturer will introduce its new products for all living areas, with a fine feeling for sustainable materials: Moka oak – their new dark wood, natural leather, and ceramics extend the range of design options and sensory enjoyment. Developments in the design and function of its dining tables, almost unlimited possibilities for shelving and home entertainment systems, a new floating bed, and the introduction of a delicately composed new kitchen range with matching furniture for the living area, all emphasise the innovative energy which TEAM 7 is bringing to the imm cologne 2017.

TEAM 7’s solid wood kitchens are always in good company: this Austrian manufacturer builds bridges between living areas and will be presenting complete furnishing solutions at LivingKitchen with a flair for colour, shape, and sustainable materials. It is all about love of wood and the perfect interplay between nature, design, and technology. This is how TEAM 7 has built on its position as a market leader in solid wood furniture to become an international benchmark for quality.

The modern kitchen has changed. It no longer hides behind a door out of sight – it has instead become a part of the living area, offering a fluid transition between dining and living room. This development has been encouraged by increasingly open architectural spaces and designs. Kitchen enthusiasts now plan their entire apartment around this enjoyable space, as the kitchen has long ago established itself as the heart of the home.

Wall unit, standalone furniture, or room divider? Stylish display case, versatile shelf unit, or smart desk? If you value flexibility in your furniture, welcome change, and have your own unique ideas, you will be well served by TEAM 7 and its high-level interior design. This applies to individually planned wall units, as well as to sideboards, tables, wall cabinets, and standalone furniture. Because the Austrian solid wood specialist covers the full range of furniture with elegant simplicity.

Wood kitchens are right on trend. Because wood brings cosiness into your kitchen, making it especially suited to an openplan room design. Perfectly coordinated cooking, dining, and living areas flow into each other, creating a generous living space in which the kitchen is the heart of the home. Sebastian Desch, head designer at TEAM 7, offers practical advice on the advantages of a wood kitchen and how one should take care of it.

The linee kitchen “black line” by TEAM 7 certainly cuts an impressive figure. Cubic forms, generous black coloured glass fronts and clear lines give the new linee kitchen design its exceptional elegance. “black line” embodies the perfect symbiosis of inviting, harmonious solid wood, vibrant coloured glass and bold metal. A sense of cool elegance is provided by the range of handles, stainless steel plinth panels, work tops and coloured glass sides in matte black.

These joints will last for a lifetime: where heavy furniture parts come together, where supports are needed, or where board surfaces are joined and merged together into one unit, these classic wooden joints are brought to bear in every sense of the word. Tongue and groove joints, tooth joints, pins, and  scarf joints don’t just score highly when it comes to aesthetic appeal, they also impress with their exceptional stability. TEAM 7 is specialised in working with high-quality wood.

People recharge their batteries when they sleep and get the energy they need for a fresh start to the next day. A night‘s rest determines our rhythm, health, ability to perform and even how good we look! No wonder that we spend around a third of our lives asleep. In actual fact the reality is somewhat different. Around 30 per cent of people suffer from sleep disorders and would be very happy to be able to sleep through the night and wake up feeling rested. The right bed can play a role in ensuring healthier sleep. And the body will reward you with good health.

Renowned furniture manufacturer TEAM 7 was awarded the Golden Pegasus prize in the category “leading businesses” (250 employees or more) at this year’s Pegasus Awards prize-giving ceremony. The
largest business award in the state of Upper Austria, founded by the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten newspaper and the Raiffeisen Landesbank Oberösterreich, is presented annually to the most successful businesses in the region.

Whether you’re at home, in your office or at the office when at home, one thing is clear: home office solutions should be comfortable and functional at the same time. The solid wood furniture from the Austrian manufacturer TEAM 7 meets these requirements perfectly. The eco-pioneer offers stylish and practical furniture for the home office. The furniture is made from fine solid wood and thereby blends harmoniously into the living environment. When the wood is treated only with natural oil it remains porous and breathable, thereby ensuring a comfortable room climate.
