Design in motion

In 2018, the renowned industrial designer created the "D1" chair family for Wagner Living, which enables dynamic sitting thanks to the further development of the Dondola joint. By decoupling the rigid connection to the base of the chair, micro-movements are possible that relieve pressure on the intervertebral discs and promote concentration. "D1" is ideal for co-working spaces and conference situations in particular.

In order to offer users a more upright sitting position at the same time, the angle of the backrest has now been adjusted and the three-dimensional movement of the upper part of the chair has been supplemented by the dynamic opening angle of the seat and backrest. "D1 office PRO" is the name of the new member of the collection, which is equipped with the pioneering Dondola 4D seat joint and actively supports every posture. "The slats of the ‘D1 office PRO’ stand upright, are more inclined forwards and therefore offer ideal support, especially for long periods of sitting at a desk. The new joint now allows a little more movement as it is narrower. There is also a lever for height adjustment," says Peter Wagner. Thanks to a specially developed mechanism, every movement of the advanced office chair is silent.

What does "D1 office PRO" offer users?

The "D1 Office PRO" provides a more upright sitting position, which is often required at individual workstations – by people who spend a lot of time in an upright sitting position at the screen and writing on the keyboard. The "D1 Office PRO" in particular offers support for this thanks to its steeper back angle.

What else has been revised?

The "Dondola 4D technology" has also been revised and offers an even more targeted and freer all-round movement for longer office use. It also encourages movement when sitting in the medically tested original Dondola movement that you are used to from Wagner Living. Thanks to the proven vulcanisation technology, which dispenses with springs and axles, every action is completely silent.

What do you want to communicate with the gradual development of the "D1"?

For Wagner Living, "D1" is the key to architecture and conveys in a unique way that design and movement can go together perfectly. With the further development of the "D1" family, as well as with the new "D1" high tools, we are emphasising the brand's attitude to continue to play with the entire working and living space in the future, and to do so consistently in close collaboration with sophisticated and unique architecture all over the world.
