The German cabinetmakers’ trade holds a federal design competition for young journeymen called Die Gute Form, the good form. Each entry is a Gesellenstück, the piece a cabinetmaker builds for the journeyman’s exam. In 2009, for example, every piece in the federal final had already won a prize at state level. The jury looked for ein zeitgemäßer Entwurf, die eigenständige Idee, gutes Design, a contemporary design, an original idea, good design. The 2021 winner, Beatrice Borggreve from North Rhine-Westphalia, built a side table of maple. The jury praised it as a moderne Interpretation eines klassischen Gesellenstücks, a modern interpretation of a classic journeyman’s piece.
