The features that characterise quality products are functionality and excellent design. For this reason, item places emphasis on the shaping from the very outset. Not only is the individual element considered, but also its interaction with existing components. Functional, timeless and aesthetic from the very beginning: Little by little, the item functions of the Building Kit System are expanded. Every single component is part of a harmonious whole.

The products of the MB and RS Building Kit Systems were awarded in design contests several times.
