This year, Sedus Werksmusik is celebrating its 90th anniversary at its Dogern site. Founded in 1935 by eight Sedus employees, its history has been marked by historical setbacks and musical highlights. The fact that the Werksmusik ensemble still exists today, with around 30 active members, is a real rarity in the region and is therefore being celebrated in style!

Clerkenwell Design Week 2025 has come to a close – and what a memorable three days it has been. At Sedus, we were proud to be part of this leading design festival, welcoming a constant stream of visitors to our showroom and exhibition spaces, and engaging in meaningful conversations about the future of the workplace.

In our showroom in Brewhouse Yard, the energy was palpable from the moment the doors opened. Architects, designers, clients and partners gathered to experience our latest concept:
“Design to Connect – the Rendezvous Office” – a fresh take on workspace design that encourages authentic interaction, meaningful focus, and flexible collaboration.

What happens when an office moves into a museum?
At the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, this question is being reimagined – and, more importantly, redesigned. With LivingRoom, co-created with feco × Sedus, a space has emerged in the midst of the exhibition, “The Story That Never Ends,” that is more than furniture, more than functionality, more than design: a place for dialogue and an experimental environment for the future of work.

On November 21 and 22, 2024, Berlin became a hotspot for sustainable building: Experts from the construction and furniture industries came together at the Climate Festival for the Construction Industry of the Future to discuss sustainable concepts and innovative approaches. Their event strapline, “Together we are changing the construction industry. Sustainable. Taking responsibility. Shaping the future,” offered a platform for inspiration and networking.

Sedus was on site as a partner and set a strong signal for the future of the (office) furniture industry, with a centrally located lounge as well as participation in the panel talk, “Circular interior design - ecological strategies in furniture construction”.

Orgatec 2024 is over, and the past week of the trade fair was a complete success for us at Sedus. With the motto “Design to Connect - The Rendezvous Office”, we turned our stand into a lively meeting place and showed how inspiring design connects people, workspaces and promotes sustainable values. The aim was to create a space that sees the office of tomorrow as a social anchor - a place that brings people together and promotes creative work.

On 14 September, the Sedus premises in Dogern were once again the meeting place for running enthusiasts from across the region. With a new record number of participants, at over 400 runners, and a colourful supporting programme, the company run was a huge success.

How can offices be designed to be irresistibly attractive to employees? Sedus answered this question at Clerkenwell Design Week 2024, which took place last week (May 21 to 23). With the slogan, “Work and the City - the Temptation Office”, Sedus presented pioneering office solutions that combine flexibility, comfort and design.
