A Modular Furniture And Signage System

This modular furniture and signage system consists of a scalable set of furniture and a magnetic guidance system. Its use aims on openness and flexibility, not only within itself but also in relation to its surroundings. Tabletops can be used vertically as a magnetic pin board or horizontally as tables. The side walls of the stool/shelving system are magnetic. Several stools stacked on top of each other create a bookshelf. All elements relate to each others in format and share the same proportions, which makes them easy to combine in a variety of ways.

This proposal was realized as a collaboration between HEIDE & VON BECKERATH and Manuel Raeder, for the shortlist of the architectural corporate design of the Goethe Institut world wide, 2009.
