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 all our stories about DMY Berlin 2010.

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.
