Milestones for Stadler Form
1998
Foundation
The company was founded by Martin Stadler in September 1998 in Zug following his search for a humidifier. Much to his disappointment, he was unable to find a device that met his aesthetic and technical requirements. So he decided to develop one himself.
1999
It’s full steam ahead with Fred
Humidifier Fred was launched by Martin Stadler in autumn 1999 and was a great success. His extraordinary design created by Matti Walker still attracts a lot of attention today. Fred soon gained the admiration of lots of customers in Switzerland and Western Europe.
2008
Oskar: the economist of the
Stadler Form family
Oskar was developed in 2008 and is distinguished by his low power consumption and elegant design. The cube-shaped evaporator created a new success story. Thanks to his timeless design, intuitive operation and quiet, energy-saving operation, the humidifier quickly became a firm favourite of the public – and still is today.
2011
Oskar the Kassensturz champion
Oskar’s success story is ongoing: in 2011, Stadler Form celebrated the humidifier’s victory in the Kassensturz test. Oskar was tested on both his operation and technical and hygiene-related aspects. The evaporator that is extremely popular with customers impressed across the board.
2013
No less than 3 Red Dot Design Awards
Stadler Form entered the renowned «red dot» design competition for the first time in 2013 and won no less than 3 awards. Albert the dehumidifier, Anna the fan heater and Oskar big the air humidifier were awarded the red dot design award for high quality of design.
2015
Paul heats quietly and continuously
Back in 2015, Stadler Form launched a world’s first on the market: Paul, the first fan heater with continuous heating power. Thanks to his unique Adaptive HeatTM technology, Paul provides heat quietly and continuously. The heat output is adapted automatically, enabling him to reach the desired level of heat quickly and maintain it while remaining energy-efficient. Unlike other fan heaters, Paul with his IP21 certification is also suitable for use in the bathroom.
2016
Eva humidifies with her external sensor
Humidifier lady Eva with her external sensor is a real innovation. Because humidity is measured in the room rather than directly round the device, measurements are extremely precise. This enables targeted humidification right where we are rather than just around the device. The Remote SensorTM is an external sensor and remote control in one.
2017
Selina little is the smallest member of a big family
The continuous expansion of its range makes the Stadler Form brand increasingly attractive, year on year. 2017 saw the launch of the smallest Stadler Form product to date: Selina little – the mini hygrometer. She always knows whether it is too dry, too humid, hot or cold. When the humidity is at an optimal level, she gives you a smile.
2018
Otto shines in new design
Fan Otto was given a facelift in 2018, just in time for his 13th birthday. The result: a seamless bamboo frame and a perfectly formed rotary control on the back. Otto combines characteristic design and carefully chosen materials. His bamboo frame is sustainable and his adjustable industrial fan gives him a timeless look with his industrial style.
2018
Global presence
From the USA to Poland and Japan to the United Emirates: Stadler Form products for improving air quality can be found all over the world. Since 2018 – just in time for the company’s 20th anniversary – Stadler Form has been able to boast about its international collaboration with more than 50 countries.
2019
Innovation first
In 2019, the Stadler Form team achieved true innovation with humidifier lady Emma: all Emma’s individual parts can be stowed away in her water bottle. This exceptional packaging was created by designer duo Bernhard|Burkard and registered for a patent in Switzerland, Germany and China. At the Iconic Awards 2020: Innovative Interior, Emma was recognised on account of her remarkable product design.
2020
3 German Design Awards
No fewer than 3 Stadler Form products were winners of a German Design Award in 2020. Tower fan Peter and table fan Tim by designer duo Bernhard|Burkard came out winners in the «Excellent Product Design – Household» category. Air purifier Roger – designed by Matti Walker – was given a «special mention» in the same category.
2021
Redesign for air purifier Roger and new Roger air purifier family
In 2021, Stadler Form improved the Roger family and added a big brother, Roger big, to Roger and Roger little. The three air purifiers convince with their washable textile pre-filters and their performance. And with Roger and Roger big, the first WiFi-compatible Stadler Form products were born – complete function control via app.
2021
The magic of an open fire with Ben: a housemate who fragrances, humidifies and illuminates
With Ben, Stadler Form put a new type of 3-in-1 device onto the market in 2021: Ben serves as a humidifier and aroma diffuser at the same time, while his illuminated effect fire bathes the rooms in a wonderfully warm light. All-rounder Ben ensures pure cosiness in a fireplace atmosphere.
2021
Unique fragrance globe system
With the launch of the aroma diffuser Lina, Nina, and Tina in 2021, Stadler Form is once again proving its ingenuity. 6 differently scented globes can be inserted into the devices and exchanged easily – depending on the aroma preference. The fragrance globes, consisting of richly fragranced, bonded pearls, release a fresh scent – without any water or essential oil.
2022
3D fan Simon impresses across the board

Simon combines function and aesthetics perfectly.
