Burkhard Remmers Book order

Englich and Remmers provide a comprehensive, analytical, and programmatic introduction to face-to-face communication in the work world. Against the backdrop of globalization, with its dynamic transformations of office environments and worldwide digital networks, they analyze the strategic significance of the various communication processes for organizational and corporate development. They show how the motives and aims of communication, the organizational forms and procedures appropriate in a given case, the size and arrangement of spaces, the required capabilities of furniture and furnishings, and modern communications and media technology all condition and influence one another. Their integrated and user-oriented approach to analysis and planning enables architects, interior designers, and facility managers to foster communication processes, structure them sensibly, and avoid unnecessary friction and needless follow-up costs, all through proper planning.

Like virtually no other company in the industry, Wilkhahn shapes the international image of "design made in Germany." Inspired by the Deutscher Werkbund, Bauhaus and the Hochschule fur Gestaltung (Academy of Design) in Ulm, a product culture has developed over the course of decades that has become a model of excellence. Milestones such as dynamic sitting or dynamic furnishing of conference interiors have set new standards throughout the world. Yet Wilkhahn is more than furniture: product design is an expression of corporate mission. This included social and ecological aspects in addition to aesthetic and economic aspects quite early on, and made the company a pioneer in many fields. On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, Wilkhahn looks back on the past and offers insight into the present international situation. 100 years + is first and foremost a homage to people's design performance and their ideas and values. Partners and customers, designers and architects, friends and impetus-givers have supported the company along its path and had a formative influence. What has emerged is a book by people, about people and for people that invites us to look, read and browse.
