Dynamic Office Chair

The Wilkhahn® ON office chair offers both freedom of movement and comfortable relaxation. The spacious chair accommodates different postures and allows a wide range of movement in three dimensions. Two separate swing plates move in the same way our thighs do. Ball-and-socket joints connect the swing plates to the Flexframe®, a combination of a flexible upholstered seat shell and an elastic back frame. Easy to use, with two buttons to adjust the counterpressure. Three backrest heights, three types of armrests, and three types of upholstery are available. The modular structure makes parts easy to replace. Over 95% of the chair is recyclable.

Unfolding Balcony

The Bloomframe® transforms from an insulated picture window into an open balcony at the touch of a button. The unit is constructed with tough, all-weather materials — steel, glass, and aluminum — and is controlled by a smooth electronic system. Designed for apartment buildings, offices, and hotels, the unit provides flexible outdoor space in compact urban environments. The dimensions, color, and materials can be custom-designed to complement the facades of new and existing buildings. Created by Amsterdam-based Hofman Dujardin Architects and engineered by Dutch manufacturer Hurks geveltechniek, the first models were built for an apartment building in Arnhem, and the unit is now in production in the Netherlands.
