      Work



      Komplot Design has developed products for a large number of clients and manufacturers such as Hay, Gubi, Norman Copenhagen, Lightyears, Fora Form and Nola Industrier.
      The Museum of Modern Art in New York City has chosen to use both Komplot Design's Gubi chair and their rubber chair Non in the interior design of the Yoshio Taniguchi-designed extension of the museum, including the Gubi chair being the chair used in the restaurant. The Gubi chair is also displayed in the permanent exhibition of the museum.
