Smart yet casual. In positions of responsibility, office and conference chairs are the last things you cut back on. Which is why the Modus Executive range is all about quality not quantity. It combines the exceptional comfort and stylish appearance of Modus with exclusive and prestigious features: seat and backrest are covered in flat cushions with extremely supple leather. With carefully stitched seams, they emphasise the slender shape and also lend the furniture a highquality informal appeal.
Whether as office, conference or cantilever chair, Modus Executive stands for a contemporary and dynamic management style. Despite all the variety offered in terms of function, features and style- all Modus models have one thing in common: their superb look and first-class ergonomics.

Klaus Franck, born in1932, studied at the Academy of Design in Ulm (HfG). After that, he worked at the Institut für Industrialisiertes Bauen (Institute for Industrialized Building), he was a free-lance architect, graphic designer and author; amongst other projects, he was Head of Lufthansa’s Interior Design Group and lectured at the HfG and the Fachhochschule in Hanover. From 1971 to 1985, he was Head of the Wilkhahn Design Department which was later to become an independent company under the name of wiege. After seven more years as Managing Director of wiege, he left to set up business on his own. Today he lives in Moraira, Spain, and works there as a free-lance designer. As a product designer, interior designer, art director and author, he has constantly retranslated the legacy of the HfG Ulm into a new language and had a formative influence on corporate development at Wilkhahn.

The wiege Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH evolved from the design and development division at Wilkhahn, office furniture manufacturer. Today it is a design consultancy which operates on an international level. It not only works for Wilkhahn but also for other clients from various branches of industry and commerce. By founding the wiege Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH, Fritz Hahne pursued an idea that was both simple and significant: on the one hand, the inhibition threshold for external designers to present their ideas to Wilkhahn was to be lowered. On the other hand, a wide field of activity outside furniture design should serve to widen horizons and give new impetus. Both became true. wiege competes productively with other designers with whom Wilkhahn works, and its field of activity includes clients from quite different branches and areas: ranging from exhibition management, home entertainment products, car manufacturers to public commissions, product design, exhibition platforms and interface design.
