Workspace in Progress: Wagner Living

For the period of one month, the results were on display at the Museum of Applied Art in Cologne under the title ‘Workspace in Progress‘. In addition to furniture and luminaires, the presentation included ideas for spontaneous communication by remote workers as well as a tool for stress reduction. The exhibition installation was organized in a functional manner. Diez Office arranged the new modular furniture system D2 – created in collaboration with Gonzalez Haase AAS, Mirko Borsche and Wagner Living – into a kind of depot: with each work in its own shelf-like box. The construction consisted of black cardboard honeycomb panels and back panels of transparent polycarbonate sheeting, which were assembled without tools using connector elements and were to be taken apart after the conclusion of the exhibition. Diez once again fulfilled his key aim of circularity in these temporary installations – with a D2 system in the centre of the exhibition, deconstructed down to its components.

Those who missed the exhibition will have another opportunity to see the works at the Cologne Furniture Fair. In addition, the students have documented all 17 works on social media channels and in a video performance that is available online.
