Barbara Benz' interviews with Wolfgang C.R. Mezger

On a quest for genius Wolfgang C.R. Mezger has designed sunbeds, chairs, sideboards and once even a highly complicated media pedestal for Walter Knoll.

Functionality is one thing, but where, may one ask, is the poetry that otherwise characterises this all-rounder's work? “Materials that are used correctly, are beautiful,” the renowned industrial designer emphasises. That also applies, consequently, to a media wall or an electrical razor. Mezger’s declaration of love for the materials he uses in his work is reflected in the versatility of his designs. And in their titles: Exec-V, Headoffice, Stage or Icon. As a notorious cross-over artist he has contributed significantly to the development of the modern office. On what icons is Mister Executive Office working currently? We can’t wait to see!
