A surprising number of people live and work in unfamiliar buildings. Wilkhahn believes that it is not possible to create user-friendly furniture products in an alienated and inhuman environment. Wilkhahn sought a completely new building that was different from the typical factory building that was so inorganic and unique that it was ridiculed as a "machine covered with totan" when expanding its own factory building. We asked the architects Frei Otto and Thomas Herzog for their help. Factory building designed by Thomas Herzog "We should create a building that is in harmony with nature. Don't resist."-Thomas Herzog Designed by Thomas Herzog and completed in 1992, the factory building is surprisingly bright and brilliant, despite its vast indoor area of 8,000 square meters. Three glass holes with a suspension structure are sandwiched between four tall buildings like a pedestal, and the cross-shaped reinforcing bars accentuate the gentle curve of the suspension structure. I'm standing up. Although this factory building is huge, it is thoroughly designed with consideration for the environment in every detail. It has a façade made of special glass with high heat insulation, a ventilation system that uses almost only natural power, and a solar power generation system, and has a green roof to prevent global warming and store rainwater. This factory building, which incorporates many pioneering ideas, is a sample of environmentally friendly architecture. "Pavilion" designed by Frei Otto Frei Otto, a well-known architect who designed the Olympic Park in Munich, was responsible for the design of the sewing and upholstery factory when Wilkhahn planned to expand the production area in 1987. did. 彼の手により、工場施設の概念をくつがえす、木製の梁で支えられた軽量のテント型屋根を持つ4つのパビリオンが姿を現しました。その形状は有機体の構造に由来しており、周囲の風景にしっくりと溶け込んでいます。内部には心地よく明るい空間が広がり、生産性が高まる、うらやましくなるような労働環境が整えられています。このパビリオン棟は多くの賞を受賞し、中で働く人を重視した産業建築の優れたモデルとして世界的に評価されています。 事務所棟 ウィルクハーンにとっての1950～60年代は、多くの優れた建築家とコラボレーションし製品開発を行った時代と言えます。ユップ・エルンスト、ローランド・ライナー、ハンス・ベルマン、ヴァルター・パプスト、ヘルベルト・ヒルヒェ、ゲオルグ・レオヴァルトなどが、ドイツ工作連盟、バウハウス、ウルム造形大学の活動の流れを汲んだ、今までにないデザイン重視のアプローチに挑戦しました。中でもレオヴァルドとヒルヒェとのコラボレーションは家具デザインだけにとどまらず、飛躍的な企業成長を遂げ、施設の拡張が必要となったウィルクハーンは彼らに新たな社屋建築の設計を依頼します。1960年にヘルベルト・ヒルヒェが設計した事務所棟は、むきだしのコンクリートの構造部と木くぎで留められたレンガのファサードが印象的な建物で、現在もウィルクハーンの中枢機能が置かれています。 .Home .Topics .About About Wilkhahn History Architecture Environment .Products Office swivel chairs Conference and visitor chairs-seating Conference tables Colors and Materials .
