7 SWISS DESIGN DESIGN THE FUTURE 1+1 Design the Future. When we started to work on the new table platform XF we carefully analyzed what we have learnt so far to create a structure as simple and efficient as possible. XF is designed in the tradition of best performing Swiss design. It is built with one leg and one profile only. This foundation allows the platform to adapt to today s and tomorrow s needs. XF is a formula where X means the variable that could work in different scenarios in the office or at home. F stands for Flow that translates into productive harmony. XF essentially delivers the software to solve future needs. 7

9 LANDI CHAIR HANS CORAY Swiss design since its entry into modern times is synonymous for high quality, consistent reduction and maximum functionality. As a milestone of a still cherished tradition the Landi chair from Hans Coray in 1938 inspired the audience and manifested in itself the technological progress of the time. Its materialisation as well as the simple elegance provided at the Landesausstellung, and shortly thereafter, a worldwide sensation. Today, the Landi chair can be found in all major design collections around the world including the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 91 holes, three kilograms of aluminum, a great thought: This is the stuff the legend of which Swiss design is made. 9

11 JELLYFISH SWATCH On 1 st March 1983 began the worldwide triumph of the most successful wristwatch of all times. The Birth of the Cult Swatch brand was based on a taboo: For the watch industry, it was unthinkable, to produce a high-quality clock for an affordable price. Swatch stunned the scientific experts with a revolutionary design and never seen before fully automated assembly line. For the past 28 years, Swatch captures the spirit of the time. With highprofile design contributions including Andy Warhol, Kiki Picasso, Helmut Newton and Vivienne Westwood the brand combines legendary Swiss watchmaker s art with the claim for international status. 11

25 FRAME B BEND Frame B represents the essential idea to establish the frame by locking two frame profiles with one cast leg. It is the preferred solution for standalone and extensions. Bending the profile allow to shape the frame according the geometry of the top. 25

26 FRAME S SCREW The basic framework consists of a single profile and a cast leg. XF offers two options for building the framework. Frame S is built with screws to connect the basic profiles for maximum functionality and compact shipping. 26

39 XF SYSTEM upper storage floor based storage The XF system is a unique offering that starts with a table and ends with open structures to be connected to walls, storage and personal storage and accessories. It follows in a natural way the form follows function idea as it was originally defined by Louis Sullivan. It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things super-human, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function. This is the law. 39
