A prototype project: What will work look like in the future?

It will soon be possible to experience the “D2” system by Wagner Living in the offices of designer Mirko Borsche in Munich. There, at Paul Heyse Strasse close to Karlsplatz, Borsche and his team work in an old building across no less than 300 square meters. The interior design is the brainchild of another illustrious name: Gonzalez Haase AAS.

The Berlin-based studio of Pierre Jorge Gonzalez and Judith Haase teamed up with Mirko Borsche, Wagner Living and Stefan Diez to conceive the prototype for a modern, flexible office. “Everyone talks about what an office might look like in the future, but we wanted to translate the vision into reality by adopting an experimental, open-ended approach,” explains Peter Wagner. The “D2” system provides the basis for their vision: a modular system with profiles and connecting elements as well as honeycomb panels of cardboard or aluminum.

“Using the ‘D2’ system it’s possible to realize a sustainable full-range office system as a lightweight structure, from walls to booths, from sound insulation through to exhibition stands,” says Peter Wagner. All the elements are simply inserted into one another; there is no need for complicated assembly. Moreover, the surfaces can be individually printed. With the help of a configurator you will be able to design the system to suit your own wishes. Subsequently, Wagner Living supplies the connecting elements and arranges for local workmen to manage the assembly.

A complete paradigm shift, as rather than offering furniture that has been preconceived in advance Wagner Living provides the basis for customers’ own wishes and their realization. ‘D2’ can be altered entirely to suit the individual,” says Peter Wagner.
