The Heritage of Sleep with OKM 

*Eight Decades of German Bedding Craftsmanship

written SARAH ARENDTS

For almost eighty years, OKM has stood for precision, craftsmanship, and enduring quality in the production of bedding. Founded in 1946 and based in Altenberge, in Germany’s Münsterland region, the family-run manufacturer continues to operate where it began, guided by values of responsibility, transparency, and mastery of the craft. Every of their products is made in-house, by hand, combining traditional expertise with advanced manufacturing processes.

OKM pillows bring handcrafted comfort and quiet precision to contemporary interiors.

The company’s history reflects continuity and dedication to excellence. Over the decades, OKM has cultivated a clear identity focused on bedding that meets the highest technical and sensory standards. Each duvet and pillow is cut, filled, and finished under one roof through a sequence of precise manual steps. Quality accompanies every stage of production, supported by a controlled process that ensures consistency and reliability.

At the core of OKM’s philosophy lies an uncompromising approach to materials. The company works exclusively with new, Class I goose down and feathers from certified, traceable sources that comply with the DOWNPASS standard for ethical sourcing and full transparency. The fabrics that encase the fillings are tightly woven cotton of the highest grade, certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and suitable for sensitive skin. The dense weave of the cotton covers meets NOMITE® criteria, creating an environment ideal for people prone to allergies and ensuring lasting purity in daily use.

This focus on material integrity defines OKM’s idea of quality. Each product is created with precision, technical skill, and attention to long-term performance. The brand’s visual language follows the same clarity: calm, refined, and functional. Every piece is conceived for comfort, tactile harmony, and durability.

OKM’s collection consists of two lines, Signature and Bespoke. The Signature line represents the essence of the brand — superior materials, handmade precision, and immediate availability within a few days. The Bespoke line extends the experience through full customization. Customers can configure every element of their bedding, from size and firmness to piping color and embroidered initials. This personal detail echoes the atmosphere of luxury hotel bedding and introduces a sense of individual refinement to the home.

The process of personalization turns bedding into an individual composition of comfort and identity. Each configuration allows the user to select their preferred balance of softness and support, adapting the product precisely to their sleeping habits. The Bespoke service brings together the principles of craftsmanship and hospitality, translating artisanal expertise into a contemporary form of service.
Behind every piece lies a clear vision, to combine traditional handcraft with sustainability and transparency. OKM works with natural, renewable materials and maintains European production standards that favor longevity and ethical responsibility. The company operates with measured scale, ensuring full control of production and maintaining a level of quality that reflects its heritage.

One House - Art of Modular Homes

ONE HOUSE
*Crafting Modular Living with Precision and Purpose

written SARAH ARENDTS

Form and precision meet in silence as ONE HOUSE unfolds its idea of how furniture should live with people. The German brand shapes a language of modular design, where every line and material decision grows from clarity and calm.

From its workshops in Germany, ONE HOUSE carries a spirit of Dutch-inspired minimalism through regional craft, building sofas, tables, and chairs that feel considered, measured, and alive. The phrase Dutch Design made in Germany describes a method where design is aesthetic and ethical, an approach that holds production and thought within the same gesture.

Meester Sofa

The foundation rests on three principles—local production, original design, and transparent pricing. Together they form a system that resists haste and honors the slow rhythm of making. Each piece feels like an open surface waiting for its owner’s life to fill it. The restraint of its forms creates room for rhythm, conversation, and quiet occupation.

The modular sofa collections trace this logic in movement. Every element connects through proportion, expanding and reducing with ease. A living space becomes many rooms inside one, shifting with the needs of work, rest, or gathering. The construction is meticulous, the seams deliberate, the volumes soft yet precise. The language of ONE HOUSE remains visible in these alignments, where comfort becomes composition and the gesture of sitting holds structure and care.

Ethics are woven into every layer of production. The principle of No Fast Furniture moves through the workshops like a silent code. Materials are sourced through local networks, every decision tied to the idea of longevity and traceable making. Dining tables hold the weight of daily life with grace, their wooden or metal frames shaped for continuity. Chairs stand nearby, attentive to their surroundings. Rugs and accessories add small changes of tone, creating rooms that breathe easily and hold light.

The identity of ONE HOUSE builds gradually through repetition and attention. Each action in the company, from the way fabrics are presented to how spare parts are supplied, speaks through openness. The showrooms in Hamburg and Munich extend that clarity into space, offering a kind of lived transparency. The furniture can be touched, reconfigured, and understood without distance.

Among the collections, the Bolder sofa has become emblematic of the brand’s sense of proportion and restraint. The design has received recognition from design institutions, yet the work inside ONE HOUSE continues with the same steady rhythm. Every new project returns to the same questions of scale, material, and structure. The home remains the field where design and use meet in quiet collaboration.

The word house carries more than architectural meaning. It holds belonging, continuity, and presence. ONE HOUSE turns this word into practice, creating furniture that forms part of the daily choreography of life. Sofas that shift with time, tables that anchor memory, chairs that translate rest into geometry. The pieces align with the lives around them, forming small frameworks of stability inside movement.

To sit on a ONE HOUSE sofa is to sense the intelligence of the joinery, the balance of the stitching, the calm held in its weight. Each surface has been thought through until it reaches stillness. The result is a furniture language that values patience over noise and persistence over novelty. This patience becomes its own form of elegance, measured not by spectacle but by duration.

ONE HOUSE exists inside the rhythm of everyday life. The furniture follows that rhythm, adjusting to it quietly. The designs speak in proportion and tactility. They reward attention, not urgency. They invite touch, not display.

For readers of LE MILE, the appeal lies in this ongoing conversation between craft and presence. ONE HOUSE creates pieces that grow with the people who use them, furniture that welcomes time rather than resists it. Every surface, joint, and contour speaks the same language of grounded modernity.

The collection includes adaptable sofas, dining tables, and chairs built with precision and longevity in mind. Every piece follows the brand’s No Fast Furniture ethos, crafted in Germany with traceable materials and calm design logic.

Prices from: sofa modules €790, dining chairs €320, dining tables €1,290, accessories €95.

Marble Side Table

The idea of one house extends through every decision. It brings together maker and dweller, production and experience, design and use. The result is a home that feels both structured and free, a place that carries memory while remaining open to change. In this rhythm, design becomes a state of attention. Rooms unfold with purpose. Life arranges itself around lines that endure. This is ONE HOUSE—a study in clarity, movement, and the calm persistence of form.

MOEBE - Pivoting Lamps 2025 Design

MOEBE
*Pivoting into Radiance

written MONICA DE LUNA

Yellow moves straight through the room, undiluted, unfiltered, an immediate surge of brightness that anchors everything around it.

The Pivoting Lamps by MOEBE in yellow unfold like punctuation marks written in steel, setting the rhythm of a space with their uncompromising geometry. The Pivoting Table Lamp arrives as an object of precision and weight. Four steel sheets shape its form: three folded into interlocking U-shapes, bound at the center, and a fourth stretched across the top as a deflector, redirecting the flow of light. A sculpture with a pulse, a light instrument that encourages constant adjustment. Ambient glow bends and reshapes through every pivot, producing a choreography of angles, shadows, reflections.

On the wall, its sibling performs a lean gesture of equal strength. Two sheets define its structure, one fixed, the other free at the waist. The pivot guides light upward, downward, or split across both directions, creating lines of illumination that frame the architecture around it. The switch hides in the body, leaving the gesture intact, the movement pure.

MOEBE brings steel into focus as raw matter, the lamps carry clarity of form, material, and function. Every cut and fold speaks of the Copenhagen workshop where architects and a cabinet maker refine their vocabulary into lasting design. A practice of reduction, a practice of endurance, a practice where utility turns sculptural.

In yellow, the lamps evolve into declarations. Sand offers quietness, stainless steel offers clarity, yellow offers radiance. The color functions as an event in itself, transforming lamp and space into theatre. A table lamp becomes punctuation, a wall lamp becomes cadence, each marking the room with energy that shifts across hours of the day.

The Pivoting Table Lamp measures 225 x 80 x 225 mm, a cube undone and redrawn, compact yet expansive in its effect. The Pivoting Wall Lamp stretches to 48 x 320 x 85 mm, a slender line of steel that extends across the surface like a precise incision. Both carry the G9 LED bulb, 2700K glow, an energy source contained yet expansive.

MOEBE, established in 2014, continues its exploration of modularity, longevity, and the honesty of visible construction. Every element can be assembled, repaired, or recycled, ensuring endurance over time. The Pivoting Lamps expand this philosophy into objects of light, creating atmospheres that grow with their surroundings. Yellow serves as the recommended color for the season, a direction from LE MILE toward bold clarity in interiors. The choice extends beyond palette into statement, beyond accent into anchor. Yellow speaks of light as presence, of steel as rhythm, of design as punctuation. Spring 2025 belongs to light that articulates space and pivoting lamps arrive as sculptural companions, folding steel into radiance, yellow as the emblem of the season. Enjoy!

DETJER - Storage Cabinets

DETJER
*The Architecture of Silence

written MONICA DE LUNA

Noise and novelty flood the visual field. DETJER responds with clarity. The brand's philosophy orbits around stillness, line, and the essence of material. Every object exists to endure. Rooted in a language of form that feels ancient yet precise, DETJER creates presence through design.

The Storage Cabinets are a meditation in symmetry and grain. Suspended with intention, it levitates above ground—a gesture of weightlessness, achieved not through illusion, but through structure. It opens with a quiet rhythm. The wooden fronts conceal rather than announce. Behind them: space, aligned.

This is furniture that listens. Built by hand, the cabinet reflects DETJER's intense relationship with wood—an understanding honed through time and tactile knowledge. The choice of darkened teak is deliberate. A wood that holds its age well, it carries the patina of presence. As light plays across its surface, the finish reveals depth rather than gloss, movement rather than noise.

The cabinet has no handles; access is integrated through subtle recesses along the edge of the front panels. The shape is straightforward—vertical and angular, marked by a balanced silhouette. The linear grain of the teak guides the eye and reinforces the structure’s visual clarity.

DETJER approaches design through a clear architectural mindset. Each object begins with a drawing, then takes shape in the workshop. The Cabinet is designed to be mounted on the left, directing the motion of the hand and offering a thoughtful interaction with its use.

Over time, the surface develops character. The darkened teak is finished with natural oil, which highlights the movement in the wood grain and gently responds to light. The surface quietly records touch and time. Its design avoids decorative distractions and focuses on coherence.

The brand, founded in the Netherlands, works closely with skilled artisans in Indonesia. Every surface, edge, and connection is refined manually. The result is an object that holds its shape with confidence. The Storage Cabinet reflects an interest in balance and proportion. It integrates easily into spaces of various scales—private interiors, transitional zones, or curated environments.

Its functionality is straightforward. Adjustable shelves allow for flexible organization. Whether used for books, clothing, devices, or objects, the interior adapts without forcing a system. The doors operate smoothly. Hinges are recessed and silent. The solid teak adds structure and warmth. The piece contributes a calm and steady rhythm to the space.

DETJER follows a design ethos grounded in long-term thinking and careful production. Their Storage Cabinets illustrate this approach through their precision and material honesty. The non-toxic oil used for the darkened teak maintains breathability and tactile depth. The result is a storage piece that settles into its environment and matures gradually. The form is not reduced to aesthetics. It invites daily use and rewards repeated interaction. Surfaces are made to be touched.

Within the broader collection, the Cabinets reflect DETJER’s ongoing dialogue between design, and function. Every piece shares a consistent attitude and material logic. Whether installed individually or as part of a larger spatial arrangement, the cabinet offers a visual pause and a place of order. Its darkened teak finish brings depth without distraction. It remains steady and deliberate. DETJER continues its exploration of design through materials and scale.
