Offer Profile
Few companies have influenced
Germany's office and contract furniture sector as strongly as Wilkhahn. Over
the course of many years we have adopted our own pioneering standpoint and
consistently pursued this.
Wilkhahn currently has a staff of over 600
throughout the world; sales outside Germany account for over 50% of the
total. Even small and medium-sized companies from a high-wage country can
succeed on the international market in spite of globalization and increasing
cost pressure.
The main requirement is, however, clear differentiation from
competitors - by means of excellent product quality and a distinct corporate
culture.

Chairs
Sitting without a driving licence
Sitting in pure simplicity. Without any complicated adjustment operations
and independently of individual body type, size and weight. Sitting with an
ergonomic posture that supports natural movement and strengthens back
muscles. We made these demands on our chairs as early as the 1980s. And
today, all Wilkhahn chairs follow this principle - swivel chairs as well as
seminar and conference chairs.

Tables
Flexible and communicative
The practice of modern working life has served as the basis for developing
our tables. Single tables provide plenty of room for a personal workplace
and may be linked to form entire table configurations if required. Round
tables promote communication, tables with castors support seminars with a
dynamic character. And the Confair folding table can even be folded up and
stored compactly along the wall.

Systems
Holistic concepts
A harmonious space concept does not evolve simply by adding chairs and
tables. For this purpose, we offer sophisticated furnishing systems with
which you can also design open-plan offices down to the very last detail
using one coherent design language. Systems that radiate calm and structure,
that promote concentration and convey the initial impression of the work
culture of a company.

Armchairs & benches
Have a rest
At the office or in an airport lounge area: high-quality chairs and benches
are oases of peace within this restless life of ours. This is where we can
recharge our batteries, develop new ideas and compare notes. And who knows?
It often happens that the very quality of the chairs that we are sitting on
influence the quality of our ideas and communication.

Personal workplace
The intuitive manner in which the furniture is grouped
gives guests an initial impression of the communication culture to be
expected.
The form, and the furniture and the equipment convey how much participation
and interaction is desired here, a round table invites people to take a seat
that includes an interactive display. A mobile catering server for
refreshment and comfortable cantilever chairs underline the informal
character.

Conference interior with a classic character
Can the furniture and equipment of interior contribute to
gearing participants towards a common goal? We think so.

Round table
A round table is proverbial and has not only been so
since the days of the knights of the round table. It marks the exchange of
positions on equal terms: for the convergence of opposite opinions, for
rapprochement and agreement.

Dynamic seminar interior
Corporate development is only possible when coupled with
personnel development. Training and learning additional skills are an
integral part of working life in all fields. An increasing number of forms
of education focus on active involvement, often requiring demands made on
the interior to change hourly in the course of a single event. Products used: Confair

"Stand-up conference" with the InteracTable
Mangers spend the greater part of their working time in
meetings and regard many of them as a waste of time. How much of this
feeling of unease is due to inadequate interiors, poor preparation and lack
of method?
Today, time is one of the precious resources and should be used optimally by
means of a conscious conference culture. We cannot take the actual handling
of a conference off your hands, but the coordination of furniture: for
example with a space in which participants can gather around a high table.
An ambiance that promotes attentiveness, energy and creativity.

Office community
For project work, companies are increasingly organized as
temporary office communities. Depending on the project, the degree of
cooperation undergoes continuous redefinition.
That only works if a flexible interior solution leaves all options open:
concentrated individual work at the desk as well as intensive exchange
within a group.

Multifunctional rooms
A room adapt as an interior for meetings, seminars or
conferences... the list of functions is never-ending - for as long as
selected furniture is flexible, a room will always be exactly what you make
out of it.

Seminar interior head on
The ideal room configuration for events which focus on
transfer of knowledge: the interior presents the speaker as an authority,
his or her voice is heard. Compact tables provide participants with adequate
working and storage space.

Conference. Excellence.
Coherent
solutions.
It is primarily the perfect interplay of an intelligent utilization concept,
aesthetic excellence, innovative functionality and valuepreserving materials
that determines the quality and return-oninvestment of conference furniture
and equipment.
Every proposed solution is therefore preceded by thorough analysis of your
aims and objectives, and competent consultation to afford optimal
exploitation of potential: as table sizes, forms, surface finishes,
different types of lipping, various frame finishes and technical features
may be precisely coordinated with a specific utilization concept, space
geometry and an existing interior design theme. This supports corporate
identity, which is so important in a conference room – with no compromises
in terms of aesthetics, functionality and facility management.
The design quality of the table and chair ranges, winners of numerous
international awards, the specifying and manufacturing competence of the
Wilkhahn® Customized Manufacturing Centre, the technological know-how of the
foresee™ subsidiary company and a highly efficient consultation, sales and
service network combine the high calibre of serial models with furnishing
solutions that are perfectly tailored to your needs, processes and
possibilities. Throughout the world.
Your brief to specify your very own “Conference. Excellence” is our
challenge.

Multimedia Conference
Interaction – business at the speed of light.
Nothing influences the world of work more than the development of
information and communication technologies: internet, intranet, the PC, the
notebook, the personal digital assistant (PDA) and the mobile phone have
fused into a system that extends to virtually all areas of work.
But what about the countless conferences, team meetings and sales
consultations that play a key role in innovative strength and business
success? Where the focus is on creativity, interaction performance and
confidence building? How can the advantages of the digital world be combined
with individual demands made on meeting and conference interiors?
If a conference room is not appropriately equipped, cable clutter, trip
hazards or insufficient power or data connections may become a source of
daily aggravation. This is more than just an aesthetic problem: there are
generally vitally important and costly personnel who meet on such occasions
for the purpose of specific and target-oriented dialogue where such
restrictions would involve a sheer waste of funds.
For many years, Wilkhahn® has specialized in furnishing modern conference
interiors. These furnishing concepts are aimed at supporting interaction
among conference participants in the most optimal way. The focus is not on
technology but on human interplay. After all, this is the real sense and
purpose of such meetings. Technology has therefore been integrated as
inconspicuously and as naturally as possible. In the course of longstanding
collaboration with leading research institutes and with our subsidiary
company foresee™, we have developed special furniture for conference,
consultation and showroom applications equipped with innovative digital
technologies that focus on promoting the quality of communication and human
interface – and are cost-saving too.
This catalogue shows furnishing solutions that are coordinated with specific
dialogue scenarios, methods and use of technology, the number of
participants and interior arrangements: ranging from conferences with a
dynamic character and innovative, interactive presentation and table
solutions to multimedia conference configurations that are both elegant and
intelligent. We hope this catalogue will inspire you to create your own
ideas. Your brief is our challenge.

InterWall®.

The virtual world awaits …
The InterWall® combines all the advantages of rear projection with spatially
flexible application: with high light intensity, easily positionable and
mobile, it allows the user to work directly in front of the projection
surface without any glare and without any shadows being cast onto the
projected image. Compact dimensions and castors allow convinient transport
from one room to another. Depending on the version, data may be processed on
the holographic panel direct using a special pen or the touch of a finger.
This function ensures support of dynamic interaction between the speaker or
session host, participants and digital presentation: in the true sense of
the word, the virtual world can be experienced hands on and modified
interactively; results can be saved without any media break and be made
available online. The high-quality supporting frame structure and the
transparent,
frameless 67” display panel set new standards in aesthetic terms too – for
example, at exhibitions, in customer service halls or showrooms, in project
work environments or as a trendsetting visualization module in a conference
setting.

ConsulTable®.

Together along the digital highway.
Most people have experienced the same problem: as soon as a computer is used
in consultation processes, the way in which it is incorporated tends to be
counter-productive: not being able to see the contents of the screen
properly, and occupation with
keyboard and mouse is an obstacle to human interaction instead of being a
support.
When a ConsulTable® has joined in, the game assumes quite a different
character: horizontal integration of the display into a round table means
that digital contents are literally on the table.
Participants have equal access to documents and may change them actively.
Optionally, the contents of the display may be turned towards the person
opposite like a piece of paper. Users require a sensitive pen to activate
functions, and the option of having a wireless keyboard additionally allows
entry
of complex data too.
Time can thus be spent on the customer rather than on technical equipment:
turn documents to face the customer, explain the advantages, note down what
is important and above all, involve him or her actively. Digital information
may be accessed and utilized as required. Online processes and digital
catalogues may also be experimented with in a hands-on manner. And, of
course, horizontal integration of the display provides a degree of visual
privacy. If the customer takes the pen him or herself and modifies
the offer, a business contract is within reach – and can be integrated
online into the follow-up process direct. This makes investment in internet
and digitization of business processes pay off at last.

CommBoard.

The wall as an interface.
A board has always been a vertical information surface to visualize,
develop and annotate thoughts – in the form of wall newspapers, a board at
school or pinboard. Today, flat screens often replace “analogue” visual
presentation techniques in a conference room. In the latter case, prepared
presentations or films are shown. This may be impressive at first glance,
but implies a step backwards compared with a traditional blackboard: as
shared work activity – the real purpose of such meetings – tends to degrade.
Instead of interacting, information is merely consumed …
We have developed the CommBoard to satisfy such needs. It combines all the
benefits of the virtual world with required interaction in a real conference
environment. Up to three large-format displays can be linked together and
integrated compactly into
the wall as an electronic board. These digital wall surfaces allow graphics,
project plans and websites to be presented in parallel, and also compared,
discussed, processed jointly and agreed upon. Quite simply, using pens or
fingers instead of a mouse or keyboard – to make the wall a real digital
interface for decision-taking.

Videoconference.

More than a window to the world.
Globalization has meant that shared working at various locations has become
part of everyday business life. With a branch office, supplier or customer –
consensus often has to be reached beyond local and national borders and time
zones.
Live transmissions of discussion partners via videoconferencing helps to
build up confidence. In addition, documents and objects may be shown to
ensure that both parties know what is being discussed. The conference room
becomes a window
to the world from which people can look out, and also in. Coherent
integration of technology, and the prestigious quality of conference tables
and chairs is therefore of paramount importance.
In this respect, technical development has reached a high and comparatively
costeffective level: in the meantime, data transmission rates via internet
are so fast that audio and video can be transmitted virtually synchronously
and without quality corruption. Wilkhahn®, however, offers more than a
normal videoconference: if a CommBoard is used, a shared virtual work
surface and all the interaction processes
taking place there can be shown in addition to audio and video transmission
of one’s opposite number. This results in the location that has been linked
up to the videoconference and the real environment forming a unity for
highly efficient support of human interface.

The table as the fulcrum.

Multitasking configurations.
A conference configuration is the fulcrum of every conference and meeting
interior: the size and positioning of the device defines the maximum number
of participants; the form determines the degree of interaction; the model
and finish transport corporate culture, and technical equipment decides on
how perfectly, smoothly and intuitively digital media can be integrated into
communication
amongst participants.
If meeting rooms are also used for “conventional” meetings such as
presentations and videoconferences, it is advisable to include combinations
of compact table configurations and mobile meeting chairs. Seating may then
be adjusted to a required application with a few swift movements.
Oval table configurations provide ideal multitask solutions for interiors
with an elongated floor plan: as a solid configuration, they promote
interaction amongst participants; if the configuration has one access point
this will focus the line of vision and attention towards the presentation
surface. A multitask configuration from the Logon™ range will enable
participants to reconfigure the tables themselves within a few seconds.
