Consider the archetypal idea behind the trestle table – proven for generations – as the godfather. Now with the arrival of its godchild, so to speak, we encounter various evolutionary, creative and constructive innovations: The extensive customisability of this office desk-cum-work table result from the combination of electrically height-adjustable columns and the wide range of materials that can be employed. The tabletops are made of linoleum, wood or laminate and offered in many colours. The A-shaped trestle in the stylistically broader (Plus) version is available in metal or – and this is a novelty in electrically height-adjustable tables – wood. In this stouter variant, the lifting column is centrally integrated through the A-shaped trestle for an even more stable geometry.
Concept
motu – work in motion
motu sets office furniture in motion. Motion matters! motu takes archetypal pieces of furniture as models and reinterprets their principal features in a refreshingly contemporary manner; reducing units to their core substance, re-equiping them with innovative technology; employing the latest materials. The basic design of the motu office furniture line allows for variability, is ever changeable and customisable, permitting and promoting motion – for the benefit of its users. Users are given freedom of spontaneous movement then, be it if they wish to work sitting down or standing up, on their own, or in teams; ergo, motu – work in motion.
motu – work in motion essentially then, is the impelling motivation behind wp office – products by westermann – the realisation of an office furniture line, to take the design company wd3 forward, bringing on board their collective conceptual experience; integrating know-how of room acoustics for instance, as a functional, integrated aspect of the furniture. Thus, motu offers greater design freedom to architects and upon which building engineering physicists may achieve greater scope by utilising the sound-absorbing qualities of the units. It goes without saying that contemporary technologies; such as, electronic furniture locks are standard and that the motu furniture family speaks a common design language.
motu – work in motion empowers its users. Motion matters! With potential for motion, perspectives and horizons open up, inspiring work. motu assists in the organisation of work with its highly versatile, mobile office structures, which can quickly be turned advantageously into more and more new, strikingly effective landscapes to work within. motu – work in motion.

wd3_spatial design was founded by Frank Westermann and Michael Daubner in 2016. Their work focuses on the development of modular furniture as well as spatial structures for new working and learning environments and for homes. They cover the entire product process, from conception and construction to design and product communication. Their many years of development and project experience have resulted in the product Xbrick®, which is manufactured and distributed by wd3_spatial design itself. Xbrick® is a multifunctional furniture for sitting, laying, standing and designing temporary and flexible space concepts. The functionality and sustainability of Xbrick® responds to the currently rapidly changing needs of users for changeable and adaptive room solutions. Especially in the working and learning area, Xbrick® as modular and multifunctional furniture accompanies everyday life and adapts to the physical requirements of learning and working styles. With Xbrick® and its wooden accessories a wide range of seating furniture, standing desk, and working tables or presentation modules can be built. The multiple use of the Xbrick® is an important aspect of sustainability - as is the choice of sensible materials and production processes. The experimentation and development field of Xbrick® can be seen in the further development of material variants, such as the current variant made of hemp shreds and mycelium. The plant-mushroom based prototype of the multifunctional stool, grown from two halves, shows the possibilities of bio-based materials in product design. The first prototypes in the same dimension with internal rib structure, grip holes, logo and surface treatment as well as product tests show the potential of alternative manufacturing processes and design processes with mycelium. Design is more than form, because it is not limited to the language of form, but also includes aspects such as the choice of materials, the design of functioning cycles and manufacturing processes, and the possible uses of a product. The more flexible and universally usable a product is, the better it is. Products that are monofunctional or only represent a very narrow usage model are no longer up to date. Good design must allow, permit, and encourage adaptations by users and also signal this. Easy access is just as important as triggering a positive impulse in the user. The impact goes beyond the actual product, which in turn can be used to trigger other behaviors. To achieve this, we work our way to the very core of a product. Adaptive furniture series for wp_westermann products wd3_spatial design is also behind the concept of wp_westermann products. Westermann GmbH + Co KG relies on the team from the Stuttgart-based design and development office for the entire product development process. A common understanding of what constitutes good design underlies the entrepreneurial collaboration. When it comes to sustainability, they are on the same path. Together, they develop products that derive their longevity from their multifunctional usability and consider aspects such as single-variety materials, short transport routes and a functioning material cycle from the very beginning. Michael Daubner is a trained master carpenter, wood technician and was a master student of Arno Votteler. He studied at the Art Academy in Stuttgart at the Institute for Interior Architecture and Furniture Design. He has over thirty years of experience in the development of modular room structures and lightweight construction concepts and spent many years at the helm of an internationally oriented medium-sized company.
