After 12 years in Alexandria, the design experts at Wilkhahn have celebrated the move to not one but two new homes – a state of the art manufacturing facility in Riverwood, and an all new world class showroom in Surry Hills.
The launch of the new Wilkhahn Forum wasn’t just a celebration of a new home for one of the world’s renowned names in design, it was also a celebration of Wilkhahn’s 111th Year Anniversary, plus a chance to showcase the new award winning Aula stackable chair and mAx folding table.
Since launching in Australia 20 years ago, the Wilkhahn brand has grown into one of the biggest names in Australia, and with continued growth in mind, the chance to upgrade to two new homes was one the group knew was the right choice.
Attended by some of the country’s design glitterati, Wilkhahn staff and design lovers alike, the night was a great celebration of what Wilkhahn means to local design, and an exciting glimpse of what’s come next. Here’s to the next 20 years!
