Oregon designers John Arndt and Wonhee Jeong Studio Gorm are exhibiting their Shaker-inspired Peg furniture system at the Direktorenhaus art space in Berlin.
The set comprises wooden tables and benches that can be dissembled and hung on the wall when not in use.
The legs screw into each table top or seat and attach to the wall-mounting with magnets.
Legs and tops are interchangeable, creating different-sized furniture pieces as needed.
The exhibition opened to coincide with DMY Berlin earlier this month and continues until August. See all our stories about DMY Berlin in our special category.
Here’s some more information from Studio Gorm:
Studio Gorm at the Direktorenhaus in Berlin
Studio Gorm has updated their Shaker inspired Peg series for the Direktorenhaus Gallery in Berlin.
First designed in 2008 Peg has been expanded to include a hard wood dining table, a desk, and a small table.
Peg is a flexible furniture system made up of simple components, which can be assembled in a variety of ways to accommodate a multitude of scenarios.
It is comprised of a series of wooden tabletops benches and legs, which hang on the wall from a peg rail when not in use.
Magnets inserted in the ends of the legs allow them to be hung quickly and easily from the peg rail.
The tables can be assembled to 4 different heights by attaching threaded wooden legs.
The tabletops are made from a variety of domestic American hardwoods, oak, hickory, ash, beech, douglas fir and walnut, and are built using a lightweight torsion box construction method with solid wood frames and reinforcements where the legs attach.
The peg benches and stools are constructed from solid beams of douglas fir with hemlock legs.
There are optional solid wood bench tops, which attach via wooden pegs, which can be retracted when not needed.

simple, pure, elegant. I like!
Ingenious! Though can’t think of a use for them. They seem to fit in better with an ideology than design theme.
It’s compact, it’s simple, it’s util. I like it.
Wonderful, beautiful work John & Won Hee! Congratulations on the show!
nice touch, nice looking, nice design, nice function, nice!
congratulations john and wonhee! Love the lamp and the small table… really good stuff, hope you had a great show in Berlin!
Lovely collection of furniture guys.
I really like the inverted roof form under the benches. V. rational : )
Wonderful, very elegant and ingenious wooden furniture, I wan’t it.
Holy Shit Balls, I love this so much…. Design boner much?
The threaded legs make this impractical…encourage experimentation by facilitating building and taking apart.
Brilliant! Shaker influence is always welcomed.
Very complicated and funtionless to be Shaker?
it’s like permanent IKEA it would drive me mad
Nice studio, I find interesting flow kitchen.
It looks well crafted, however it seems a bit ironic that it’s photographed in such a large living space, when it seems intended for a much smaller one.
i love this, would work so well in a small space like a loft
Hey John & Wonhee, congratulations on this collection, looks very beautiful and practical, and very well produced!
