Award-winning German bedroom manufacturer Wiemann is celebrating after a successful January Furniture Show. The family-run company was delighted to win two awards at the leading trade exhibition.
The victories – Global Player category winner in the prestigious Excellence in Furniture Awards and named Best Stand in Hall 3 – topped a rewarding event for the long-established brand.
Kai Schwenke, Wiemann export manager, said: “We are honoured to pick up such enviable endorsements at the January Furniture Show. The Excellence in Furniture, Global Player, win is a reinforcement that our offering is hitting the right spot.
“Wiemann is exceptionally proud of its high quality, desirable products backed up with consistent high calibre customer service, alongside a rock-solid commitment to helping retailers grow sales and profit. Wiemann offers an enviable HDI (Home Delivery and Installation) service, features of which we believe to be market leading, if not unique, among UK bedroom furniture suppliers.
“Litmus Furniture, our sole agents for the UK and Ireland, works closely with Wiemann in Germany, looking at designs for the European market and influencing adaptations which it is felt would better suit the UK consumer.”
Simon Hewitt is the md of Litmus Furniture. He added: “We are blown away with two accolades at the January Furniture Show. We are humbled and overjoyed to take the Global Player award and delighted to be recognised for our welcoming, informative and eye-catching stand. A lot of work goes into our show presence and the awards are a pat on the back for the whole team.”
Wiemann, which celebrated its 125th birthday in Autumn 2025, launched stylish and eye-catching new products at the show across all price points, including premium VIP collections and more additions to the company’s entry level offering. All were well received and orders were significantly up on last year at the NEC-based exhibition.
Kai said: “New sliding door VIP range Macao was the toast of the premium offerings, with its sleek, luxurious vibe and embedded lighting appealing to visitors. Among our entry level collections, Dakar, featuring sliding doors and a choice of finishes, was popular.”
Wiemann’s innovative use of lighting and texture prompted conversations on the stand with VIP collection Ambiero leading the way. Embedded lighting complements a bang-up-to-date horizontal textured glass dimple-effect panel which brings the product to the forefront of any bedroom.
Simon said: “Wiemann’s designers have combined tasteful illumination with premium looks in a refreshing and inspiring way. There is nothing else like this on the market right now.
“Macao and Ambiero led the way with clever lighting design to set a mood, add sophistication and boost functionality.”
VIP Shanghai II also makes its debut, offering sliding, hinged and hinged-combi doors in five different carcase colours and five colour glass/mirror finishes.
Again at the premium end of the Wiemann catalogue are ranges featuring solid oak doors or solid oak veneer doors. Cremona now features a slider option and Cardiff, a stunning corner hinged wardrobe, was unveiled.
Simon added: “Wiemann is a tried, trusted and reliable brand. It has been impressing with its dedication to excellent design, quality and value for a century and a quarter and the latest crop of ranges emphasise that even more.
Wiemann also has two permanent showrooms in the UK, at Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, and in Harlow, Essex. The Long Eaton showroom has just undergone an extensive refit. Appointments are always available at these venues by emailing enquiries@wiemannuk.co.uk
