About 8580 Haus.

To renew STAMMTISCH

/Stámmtisch/
Substantiv, maskulin [der]

The goal of 8580 Haus was to create a design studio that revolved around the German words Stammtisch. Stammtisch means People sitting around a table, drinking, eating, discussing the world, discussing their little village. Usually once a week. That’s what the German word “Stammtisch“ describes. It’s been a tradition for centuries, primarily found in miniature German villages.

Belonging to a “Stammtisch“ means belonging to a community

8580 Haus is about traditions, craftsmanship, old trades

about a meaningful together, sharing, depending on each other

about long-lasting products, methods and services

about a true “together“
