For over 60 years, that experience has been shaped by a vision that began in a Danish factory and now lives on in the heart of German engineering: the Bosse Modul Space system.
In 1958, Danish designer Poul Cadovius revolutionised the way we think about space and structure. His invention the ‘Abstracta’ shelving system was a pioneering example of modular design. Tool-free and elegantly minimal, it used metal tubes and connectors to support sheet steel shelving, offering function and flexibility without a single screw.
The system won gold at the 1961 International Inventors’ Fair in Brussels and was even used to build entire exhibition halls at the 1962 International Furniture Fair in Cologne. Cadovius’s patented plug-in construction method laid the groundwork for a concept that has stood the test of time.
In 2002, German manufacturer MRD took inspiration from Cadovius’s innovative spirit and reimagined modularity with the launch of Modul Space, a system produced in Germany with a clear nod to Bauhaus principles of form, function, and aesthetic clarity.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Bosse Design, founded by Günter Bosse in 1964, has been at the forefront of creating adaptable furniture systems ever since. From producing high-quality wall units in the 60s and 70s to pioneering space structuring in the 90s with open-plan office solutions, Bosse has consistently led the conversation on functional design.
Now part of the Dauphin Group, Bosse continues its legacy from its manufacturing base in Höxter, Germany, producing intelligent, sustainable furniture for the workplaces of today and tomorrow.
At the heart of every great space is intention, the Bosse Modul system is a true reflection of that philosophy. Crafted with precision and shaped by over sixty years of thoughtful design evolution, Bosse offers more than just functionality. It brings personality, creativity, and purpose to every environment it touches.
Whether you're reimagining a collaborative workspace, designing a private retreat, or creating a flexible layout that can evolve over time, Bosse empowers you to build with confidence and style
What sets Bosse apart is its intelligent, tool-free assembly. Using a smart plug-in connector system, structures can be assembled quickly and intuitively—no tools, no fuss.
Choose from 8 closed connector types and 18 tube lengths to create virtually endless configurations
Tailor the system to suit your needs with customisable sizes, surfaces, and colours
Select from lacquer finishes inspired by Le Corbusier’s Polychromie Architecturale, a palette grounded in architectural harmony
Enjoy the refined durability of premium melamine surfaces, designed to withstand daily use while maintaining elegance
Drawing inspiration from the clean lines and purposeful forms of the Bauhaus design movement, Bosse Modul Space seamlessly bridges form and function.
Whether you're aiming for a sleek, open-plan layout or a tranquil, enclosed room-in-room concept, Bosse’s modularity allows your vision to come to life beautifully and effortlessly.
Bosse isn’t just about what looks good today. It’s built with a clear vision for tomorrow.
Manufactured in Germany using certified, high-quality materials
Engineered for long-term durability and versatile reconfiguration
Supported by regional supply chains to reduce transport emissions and environmental impact
Every element is considered, from its precision engineering to its sustainable ethos. The result? A modular system that’s as respectful of the planet as it is adaptable to your space.
Bosse Modul Space is more than furniture, it’s a future-ready solution for modern environments. Thoughtfully designed, endlessly adaptable, and consciously made. As your needs change, your workspace adapts with you. Reconfigure, expand, or simplify. Bosse supports whatever comes next.
