The wiege Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH evolved from the design and development division at Wilkhahn, office furniture manufacturer. Today it is a design consultancy which operates on an international level. It not only works for Wilkhahn but also for other clients from various branches of industry and commerce.
By founding the wiege Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH, Fritz Hahne pursued an idea that was both simple and significant: on the one hand, the inhibition threshold for external designers to present their ideas to Wilkhahn was to be lowered. On the other hand, a wide field of activity outside furniture design should serve to widen horizons and give new impetus. Both became true. wiege competes productively with other designers with whom Wilkhahn works, and its field of activity includes clients from quite different branches and areas: ranging from exhibition management, home entertainment products, car manufacturers to public commissions, product design, exhibition platforms and interface design.
