WMF´s new communications centre, Geislingen

In order to continue to be able to accommodate the growing numbers of people
taking part in its training seminars, WMF (a major German engineering company)
decided to construct a new communications centre that would offer more space.

The plans provided by the architects responsible place the emphasis on variability in capacity provision to allow for different sizes of seminar and training venue.

Their imagination and creativity have produced an outcome of the highest quality.
Thanks in no small measure to the integration of DORMA Hüppe Variflex movable walls, this building offers sophisticated combination possibilities for a choice of rooms which, both individually and in sum, surpass all communication requirements.

The main component is the sweeping stainless steel partition that separates three large
conference rooms from the foyer.
The synthesis of functionality achieved within an inspiring architectural environment epitomises the very best of modernity, pragmatism and accessibility.

The use of Variflex partitions rendered possible the integration of three large, variable conference rooms as well as several small, divisible training rooms.
The new communications centre of WMF not only boasts the very highest interior design credentials but also impresses through its transparency, dynamism and spatial depth.
Finishes in glass, stainless steel and wood were specially selected in order to reflect the brand image and cosmopolitan identity typically associated with WMF.
