Design activity

In 1952, Arno Votteler joined the Walter Knoll seating factory in Herrenberg . At Knoll he “drew furniture, designed it, worked as a model maker and did everything that was connected with it, real factory work”. From 1956 to 1961 he worked in London and Stuttgart as a freelancer in the office of Robert Gutmann, who was a partner in the international design office Design Research Unit. As part of his activity as a freelance designer, he worked from the mid-1950s with the companies Albert Stoll Giroflex in Koblenz / Aargau in Switzerland, Hans Mäder in Dornstetten , Plan Möbel Eggersmann in Espelkamp , Gruco Küchen in Lauf near Nuremberg, Martin Stoll in Waldshut- Tiengen , Bisterfeld + Weiss in Kirchheim unter Teck and Alex Linder in Frickenhausen together.

Walter Knoll (1952–1956)

In 1952 Arno Votteler joined the Walter Knoll seating factory in Herrenberg . During the collaboration, which lasted until 1956, five of Arno Vottelere's designs were taken into series production, including the light upholstered armchair 333 M and a bench, "which should correspond to the new attitude towards life in post-war Germany". The shell chair 350 with resilient plywood shell was a great success and a patent has been applied for in many countries.

Albert Stoll Giroflex (1956–1966)

Robert Gutmann referred Arno Votteler to the Swiss furniture manufacturer Albert Stoll, for whom he was in charge of product development for the Giroflex series from 1956 to 1966. Votteler optimized the production of the previous office swivel chairs made of solid beech by replacing the wooden connections with thin tubular steel parts. Based on the office armchair with seat and back cushions (see illustration), a collection was created with four new upholstery series, "which were celebrated as a sensation and accordingly sold well".

From 1959 to 1975 Arno Votteler worked with the Hans Mäder furniture factory in Dornstetten . For Mäder, he designed the M 90 Premon cabinet and partition system, which can be expanded as required, with thin panels held in place by aluminum profiles. In addition, a range of box furniture was created with special swivel fittings and handles and a sturdy children's furniture range that can be dismantled with colored seat and table tops.

Plan furniture Eggersmann (1962–1978)

From 1962 to 1978 Arno Votteler worked for Planmöbel Eggersmann in Espelkamp as a house designer.

Gruco kitchens (1974–1977)

For the company Gruco Küchen in Lauf near Nuremberg, Arno Votteler developed the Funktiona kitchen system from 1974 to 1977, which was characterized by the reduced dimensions of the components and, for the first time in series production, the previously unused "red zone" between the worktop and wall units as a functional back wall to accommodate the frequently used tools repurposed.

Martin Stoll (1977–1986)

In 1977 the collaboration with the office furniture manufacturer Martin Stoll in Waldshut-Tiengen began . Votteler was responsible for the entire model development until 1986.

Contract research and advice

In addition to his teaching and design activities, Arno Votteler also took on research and consulting assignments for well-known companies:

Bosch-Blaupunkt (1966–1975)

Blohm + Voss (1966–1968)

As part of the development of a ship's cabin for the Hamburg shipyard Blohm + Voss , the patented extension system M 1000 was created from 1966 to 1968. The room-enclosing, screwless assembly system, which could be assembled in a modular manner, replaced the previous individual production. The system was used for the first time in 1967 in the ships of the Blohm & Voss type Pioneer and in 1970 in the then world's largest container ship, the Sydney Express . In the Wikipedia article on the Blohm & Voss type Pioneer ship , a brief description of the M 1000 expansion system is given in the history section : “Less conspicuous [than the common parts system], but far more advanced was the one from the shipyard in collaboration with Arno Votteler from the State University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig newly developed "M 1000 furnishing system" with standardized components for the interior construction of the deckhouse . This made it possible to prefabricate the parts for the interior work on land and then to insert them as ready-to-connect building blocks into a modular steel frame system. "

Association of German Industrial Designers

In the 1950s, the German Werkbund , the German Design Council and the Ulm University of Design dominated the institutional “design scene”. The professional interest representation of the designers was not part of the remit of these institutions. The later founding members of the VDID , including Arno Votteler, and members of the Werkbund Baden-Württemberg discussed this situation at the Brussels World Exhibition Expo 58 in 1958 . They decided to remedy this shortcoming by founding a professional association.

In 1959, Arno Votteler, Günter Kupetz , Hans Theo Baumann (* 1924), Karl Dittert , Peter Raacke , Rainer Schütze (1925–1989), Hans Erich Slany and Herbert Hirche founded the Association of German Industrial Designers (VDID) in Stuttgart . Seven of the founding members were young designers. The “established older men” of design did not want to take part, with the exception of Herbert Hirche, “Bauhäusler and, alongside Wilhelm Wagenfeld and Hans Gugelot, one of the three“ greats ”in the history of German post-war design”, who served the association as “midwife”, so to speak.

In the same year, the VDID was accepted into the international designer association International Council of Societies of Industrial Design (ICSID) after Arno Votteler had applied for membership at the first ICSID congress in Stockholm on behalf of his association.
