Loris&Livia for Wogg

Exactly 30 years after Wogg 1 was first unveiled, the legendary furniture has now made a comeback.

The Swiss design duo Loris&Livia, based in London has developed and redesigned the system in a contemporary setting. To do this, the two designers studied the old shelving system in detail, retained its basic structure, while at the same giving the furniture a suitable modern twist.

The manufacturer Wogg made this possible by developing the postforming technique using a wooden veneer, giving the shelving a warmer and more structured look. The typical elegant and lightweight design of the panel elements of the original Wogg 1 remain untouched.

Under the name Wogg 57, they therefore created a refined bookend for the shelving system that not only incorporates the geometrical shape of Wogg 1 but also exudes its own identity. Wogg 57 is a colourful and functional element that can be positioned anywhere on the shelf and can be moved freely between the lines to add a splash of colour where you want it. This circular, sculptural accessory made of metal can now also be used as bookends, mirrors or small cabinets of curiosities − whatever takes your fancy.
