Sustainability – made in Berlin

System 180 has always developed and manufactured its products 100% in Berlin.
From our base in Germany’s most modern science and technology park – Berlin Adlershof – we offer our customers our high-performance products on 7,500 square meters of commercial and production space. Our offerings extend from our internal development service, through in-house production in wood and metal all the way to our assembly service.

Straightforward functionality

Good design shows off the technical function of a piece and supports that functionality. What System 180 stands for is its functional honesty: design emerges from function, from the raw materials used, from technology, from the ergonomics of the piece. And the product quite openly shows what it is to the world. System 180 is, at its core, based on an utterly unique principle that allows you to combine multiple options with complete freedom.

Many coveted design prices bear witness to our high standards in terms of form and function.
