WAGNER Design Lab
The design for the new WAGNER Design Lab combines architecture and design at the highest level. The limits of what is feasible are redefined. The building, which rests on slender steel stilts, seems to float above the existing building, the former home of the Wagner family.
In future, four gigantic panes of glass will form WAGNER's shop window. Each measuring around 3.51 x 20 m, they are the largest insulating glass panes in the world to date and have already been entered in the Guinness Book of Records.
Even before completion, the WAGNER Design Lab was honored with the German Design Award 2020. The jury's verdict:
"An elongated cubic structure boldly set into the slope, supported at the front by a V-pillar - the clear architecture of the WAGNER Design Lab clearly reflects the brand's high design standards. And with the largest window pane, it also makes a self-confident statement. A timelessly elegant design that is transparent,
open, light and pleasantly inviting."
