Log

2020

Sitting on a lying tree trunk is the most archetypal way of using it as a sitting object. This action is associated with walks in nature, where we intuitively use it to rest for a moment and enjoy the surroundings. The aim was to transfer precisely these associations into the room. It was important to intervene as little as possible in the original form in order to preserve its raw effect.
The design is inspired by the manufacturing process of Chinese gables. Whole trunks are often used and joined together, while sculptural forms are created by minimising the original shape.

970 km

2017

The product was developed as part of the "Haus Brandenburg" project. This pursues the philosophy of bringing together Brandenburg crafts businesses and manufactories in order to generate new products to be prescribed locally. This resulted in the creation of the shoe 970 km (name: total length of all flowing waters in the Spree Forest). This is positioned in the region of the Spree Forest and is a reference to the traditional wooden shoe in connection with the typical local Wendish embroidery. It depicts the protective snake king, a mythical creature that still has a high symbolic value in Sorbian/Wendish culture.
