Furniture as radical realism.
A jute canvas filled with fresh hay lies in the room. The hay is tangible and peeks out star-shaped from the open cloth. Next to it is a black tripod with an oiled wooden construction, complemented by a standard LED light.
I chose this setting to reinterpret the old in new ways and to awaken longings and old memories. Through this contextual shift, space and time are joined. This type of cloth is still used today in the Alpine region to transport dried hay to the threshing floor.
This presentation is a transformation of a nature idyll into tangible furniture. I would describe this as “furniture as radical realism” and let the material speak for itself. As a seating group, variants with different canvases and materials are intended. They can create a connection to the fashion world and are intended for real use.
The “Summerfiber” easychair is soft to sit on and can be adjusted to fit your needs. It is a product that appeals to both the senses of touch and smell. The “Indilamp”, too, is to show respect for reality. It consists of three parts: a standard Manfrotto tripod, a normally produced LED lamp and a wooden construction. This frame design was made individually in the studio from oak parquet flooring and forms the linking puzzle piece of the three pieces.
The new Easychair is now on display at Venice Design 2016 Exhibition. Palazo Michiel. Rialto.
