Koziol’s inspiring and original products are created at Erbach in Germany’s Odenwald Forest – in the very heart of Europe.
Most people are surprised to hear that the products are not only developed in Erbach, but produced there using the latest technology as well. A combination of unparalleled expertise, top-tech and passionate commitment ensures outstanding quality in every product. Innovative ideas, exciting designs and new material techniques are the ingredients these bestsellers are made of.
Teamwork is the key to success. Leading designers from all over Europe – such as Alessandro Mendini, Matteo Thun and the popular London duo Platt & Young – all appreciate the receptive and friendly atmosphere at Koziol that has bred so many unusual product ideas.
It all started back in 1927 with Bernhard Koziol’s small ivory carving workshop. Initially, he fashioned jewelry and ornaments made of ivory and plastic. From the ‘fifties onwards, the workshop mainly produced souvenirs that were then sold all over the world. Today the company employs a workforce of 180 and exports its products to over 50 countries.
Koziol’s design language is unique and easily understood the world over. As Sebastian Conran puts it, “Koziol puts a smile in my mind.”
