Eckebank

Born out of the first collaboration with the Mühlviertl carpenters‘ workshop Pühringer, a new image of the traditional corner bench as a place for discussion, meeting, eating together, and family rituals takes shape. The reduced formal language transforms “Austrians’ favorite piece of furniture” into a purist furnishing object removed from its origin. The white-painted seat and table surface merge visually with the spatial environment; the walnut of the foundation creates strong accentuation. The dual challenge of revitalizing a traditional piece of furniture according to the proportions and models of the past and working via abstraction resulted in a reserved design solution that is full of personality.
