Ministerial Seating Comfort
Brunner seating furniture gives real support to policies in the making –
the delicate fina models are deployed in all areas of the new ministerial
building.

                                 “The classic design of the furniture goes well with this building’s characteristic style.”
                                                                                                                          Staab Architekten, Berlin
