    Description
    Like virtually no other company in the industry, Wilkhahn shapes the international image of 'design made in Germany.' Inspired by the Deutscher Werkbund, Bauhaus and the Hochschule fur Gestaltung (Academy of Design) in Ulm, a product culture has developed over the course of decades that has become a model of excellence. Milestones such as dynamic sitting or dynamic furnishing of conference interiors have set new standards throughout the world. Yet Wilkhahn is more than furniture: product design is an expression of corporate mission. This included social and ecological aspects in addition to aesthetic and economic aspects quite early on, and made the company a pioneer in many fields. On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, Wilkhahn looks back on the past and offers insight into the present international situation. 100 years + is first and foremost a homage to people's design performance and their ideas and values. Partners and customers, designers and architects, friends and impetus-givers have supported the company along its path and had a formative influence. What has emerged is a book by people, about people and for people that invites us to look, read and browse.
