Aschau im Chiemgau, Germany
Created by Jakob Schwarz and Nils Holger Moormann of Nils Holger Moormann Moebel, Der Vorstand is a wall cabinet that opens, unfolds and becomes as its designers say a “think tank.”
Der Vorstand is a wall cabinet that allows you to create a workspace when you need it and frees up space where you don’t, retreating elegantly into the background.
Τhe design has been awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
The fold-out ceiling creates a sense of space, it affords light and connects the essentials: the back wall mounted on wheels with its magnetic exterior and the secretary at the center.
In keeping with the trusted Moormann ordering principle, everything has its place: from your pen to the books and the binders. All devices can be charged while cables are well hidden.
A curtain can be added to the side, and the illumination of the ceiling and workspace adjusted to your personal preferences – for a maximum atmosphere on the minimum surface area.
Surfaces and materials are reduced to the basics: solid ash wood and light beige linoleum where hands and eyes rest or work in concentration; black surfaces and quiet restraint where nothing should distract you.
Precise details for storing, cabling, and locking the fold-out mechanism convey integrity and guarantee self-assured performance on the executive level.
