THE JAPANESE INTERPRETATION OF WOGG 76
Uchida Design actually wanted to test the possibilities of the new Wogg 75 roll front - now one piece of furniture from their design is in an exhibition in Tokyo and in the Wogg showroom in Zumikon/Zurich. Uchida Design's aesthetic concept turns a piece of storage furniture into a practical sculpture and a new innovative office concept for a well-known Japanese company.
​
Inspired by the classic Wogg 52 and its ultra-thin composite panels, the Japanese design team starts with a fine box and allows the aluminum profiles of Wogg 75 to slide up and down in three unequal wave movements like a curtain. Depending on how the boxes and their various roll fronts are placed in relation to each other, storage solutions with a very individual aesthetic are created: stacked as a highboard or as a sideboard that can be extended indefinitely.
