Krzesło M3 Model 3D

M3 CHAIR date: 2011 type: chair material: oak wood size: 1m3 design: Thomas Feichtner producer: Neue Wiener Werksttte, Austria For Vienna Design Week 2011, Neue Wiener Werksttte will be showing the M3 Chair developed specifically for this exhibition. This unique object will be juxtaposed with the mass-produced FX10 Lounge Chair, an earlier work by Feichtner which has since become a classic of Austrian design. While these two pieces share a geometric theme, the M3 Chair exhibits an open, wooden cantilever construction that contrasts with the closed body of the Lounge Chair. The installation highlights not only the tension between closed and open, heavy and light, surface and line, and mass-production and the single copy, but also the symbiosis between traditional workmanship and contemporary design. These pieces thus embody Neue Wiener Werkstttes ideal of hand-producing technically perfect individual products built to last generations, furniture designed to guarantee historical recognizabilitythe perfect union of hand-craftsmanship, tradition and design.
