Studio Gorm's Wood Peg System: Furniture that Hangs Around

By Rain Noe - September 4, 2012

in Furniture Design

Somewhat ironic given their name, but the Shakers never had to deal with subways rattling their walls, and their system of hanging chairs on wall-mounted pegs served them well. Netherlands-founded, Eugene, OR-based Studio Gorm (remember their Flow Kitchen?) takes that idea further with their Wood Peg furniture line, a series of benches, stools and tables that all break down flat and can be stored on a rail on the wall.

The components are interchangeable, and we know this will scandalize you Ikea fans but there's no Allen keys required; everything goes together and comes apart by hand.

The system is comprised of a veritable UN of wood: ash, douglas fir, hemlock, hickory, oak and walnut all make an appearance. Sadly, there's no mention of whether this will remain a concept or something going into production.

@mc I fail to see how this is a copy? Could you perhaps add constructive criticism?

unless your link was wrong, all I see is a table that can be assembled like many other tables. Aesthetically and functionally these two are different. Explain?
