Bernau in the Black Forest
Welcome to the Black Forest. Willkommen im Schwarzwald. Many travel to the picturesque high valley in Bernau to spend their holidays. We have the pleasure of living and working here. Gorgeous meadows and forests are right on our doorstep, as the old Black Forest farm house, where Jutta Rothe starts Raumgestalt at the turn of the millennium, is still today our company headquarter and showroom. The Black Forest turns out to be an ideal location for production. Traditionally, many skilled craftsmen work in the region. They support Jutta Rothe in the implementation of her ideas and do the production. In addition, for generations many women have earned extra money by working from home. There is no lack of competent hands for sewing and other difficult manufacturing processes.
our team
Welcome to the Black Forest. Willkommen im Schwarzwald. Many travel to the picturesque high valley in Bernau to spend their holidays. We have the pleasure of living and working here. Gorgeous meadows and forests are right on our doorstep, because the old Black Forest farm house, where Jutta Rothe starts Raumgestalt at the turn of the millennium, is still today our company headquarter and showroom. Year after year we build up the farm house. It goes upwards. Up to the barn, we use every room and ten years later we are bursting at the seams. There is a lack of storage space. Furthermore the volume of woodwork has grown considerably. Thus we expand the company to include our own carpentry workshop and warehouse. At the beginning, the team only has two employees, today there are 13 helpful spirits who buzz around on three floors, who organize, pack and ship. Together with three carpenters they form the “Family” of Jutta Rothe.

our founder
The story of Raumgestalt begins with Jutta Rothe: She is the founder and to this day the heart and creative mind of the design manufactory. At the beginning of the 90s she acquires a 300 year old Black Forest farm house and decides to follow her creative tendencies there from now on and turn her passion for interior design into a profession. The starting capital are her clear style values and a head full of ideas. Jutta Rothe is a passionate minimalist and dreams of furnishing ideas that look as simple and perfect as a pebble or a round loaf of bread. In addition, pieces of furniture are not disposable items for her. She wants to create pieces for life whose style is not based on the short-lived lifestyle trends, but is timeless.
