INNOVATIONS, INVENTIONS AND PIONEER WORK
WOGG HAS CHANGED AND SHAPED THE FURNITURE AND DESIGN WORLD AROUND THE WORLD
We have built up know-how for the production of our furniture and based on this we are continually looking for further new solutions. Over the years we have developed a number of innovations that distinguish our collection:
​
​
​
POSTFORMING 1983
Postforming made us known as the Wogg brand. In the postforming process, a carrier plate is covered with a plastic plate and pressed. This combination brings improved static values and allows even finer constructions. The edges are protected, but at the same time the rounded shape of the edges is an aesthetic means of expression. The entire first collection is based on the postforming process. The Wogg 1 shelf by Gerhard Lange and the Wogg 7 table are two witnesses from this period. Over the years, other products followed, including the Wogg 12 Sideboard Stripe, the body of the Wogg 13 Litfass column and the Wogg 22 shelf.

BENDING ALUMINUM 1996
​
The big challenge with Benny Mosimann's container furniture is the rounded shape of the furniture's floor plans. A surrounding aluminum profile protects the edge and at the same time guides the sliders. For this purpose, we developed the aluminum profile bending machine in 1990. The first piece of furniture from this series was the Wogg 17 Ellipsetower, followed by Wogg 18 Classicboard and Wogg 44 Longboard and in 2015 the Wogg 58 Openboard and Wogg 59 Bigboard.

WOGG COMPOSITE PANEL 2001
Wogg 25 and Wogg 52 are the epitome of Wogg-typical lightness. We use the composite panels developed by us for all our furniture: the carrier panel, synthetic resin covering and edges are processed into a 5.2 mm thin whole that is very rigid and stable. The panels are then assembled to form the individual pieces of furniture. Thanks to the low material thickness, they are not only visually but also actually very light. The first piece of furniture of this type was the Wogg 25 shelving tower. This was followed by the Wogg 52 shelf box, the Wogg 54 desk and, in 2016, the Wogg 60 Grande and Wogg 61 Moderato desks and the Wogg 62 Horizontal shelf.
TEXTILE WELDING 2007
​
The actual invention in Wogg 42 Armchair is the upholstery that lies on the supporting structure like a blanket and consists of a separate seat and back section. The fabric and the upholstery material are welded into one element using a completely new high-frequency pressing process - and not sewn as usual. The precisely tailored fabric parts are fastened with snap fasteners and can therefore be easily replaced.
NOTCHED ALUMINUM COMPOSITE PANEL 2009
We have developed a roller front for the Wogg 49 cabinet that has it all: It consists of a single, notched aluminum composite panel, which impresses with its lightness, enormous flexibility and simple elegance, and a special guide element that ensures that the door runs smoothly guaranteed. We also used the same construction principle for the Wogg 53 sideboard and the Wogg 51 bar cabinet. The notched aluminum composite panel alone is also used in the Wogg 39 screen.
WOGG ROLLFRONT SYSTEM 2021​
​
The patented Wogg 75 technology uses the advantages of the known systems and solves the old problems: The sliding mechanism is now not only stable and quiet, convex and concave radii are also possible for the first time. The Wogg 75 system consists of a guide element as a sliding mechanism and aluminum profiles. The small plastic element, which encloses a soft rubber tire, can be clipped into the slats at any pre-milled point. Their geometry allows individual dimensions as well as concave and convex, narrow and wide radii. The patented technology works on furniture as well as in bathroom furniture, kitchens and interior design of real estate, in exterior design or in other areas of industrial design (ships, airplanes, vehicles, etc.).
