Conmoto
German outdoor and living design made almost entirely in-house, near Münster, with a tight roster of named collections since 1997.
A Münster design house built on in-house manufacture.
Conmoto was founded in 1997 by Johannes Wagner in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, with a stainless steel fireplace tool as its first product. The brand expanded into outdoor furniture in the early 2000s and today operates its own factory near Münster, producing around 95 percent of its output in Germany. Collections span modular outdoor lounge, dining, and outdoor kitchen lines developed with a consistent group of designers.
Key collections include Miami by Mark Braun, Riva by Marie Schmid-Schweiger, and Tension by Peter Maly with Hoffmann Kahleyss Design. For US buyers, pieces reach the market through authorised dealers and specialist design retailers.
A selection of lines.
Miami
Mark Braun's modular outdoor lounge system, with a powder-coated aluminium frame and Sunbrella acrylic cushions in a clean, low-slung silhouette.
Miami
Designed by Mark BraunMiami is Conmoto's modular outdoor lounge collection, designed by Berlin-based designer Mark Braun. Its defining characteristic is a clean, low profile with generous cushioning in OEKO-TEX certified Sunbrella acrylic fabric, offered in anthracite, light grey, red and taupe. The powder-coated aluminium frame keeps the weight manageable while the modular format allows the system to scale from a single armchair to a full corner sofa.
Individual modules include a basic seat, corner piece, stool, and lounger, with coordinating trays and protective covers. The design is produced at Conmoto's own factory near Münster to a five-year warranty standard.
What the pieces are made of.
Across its outdoor range Conmoto works primarily with HPL (high-pressure laminate), powder-coated aluminium, and weatherproof outdoor fabrics including Sunbrella acrylic. HPL is used in Riva and Tension for its resistance to impact, abrasion and weathering; aluminium frames appear in Miami. Production is largely in-house at the company's own factory near Münster.
