Daniel Posta (CZ) at Lorenzi – finest steel products and grinding shop - since 1835

LORENZI feinste Stahlwaren & Schleiferei - seit 1835, Verein Neigungsgruppe Design

1.–9.10.2010

This year the traditional steel merchants Lorenzi celebrate their 175th anniversary. They produce all kinds of cutting tools for the household, especially knives – not really the products for the Passionswege project of the Czech designer Daniel Posta, renowned for his humour and perfectly crafted solutions. Posta was more interested in the company’s unusual and long family tradition – there are more than 30 Lorenzi steel shops across the globe and every August a big Lorenzi family reunion takes place in Mortaso in northern Italy. This year Daniel Posta will join junior manager Andreas Lorenzi there and then show the results of this genealogical research trip as part of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK.

The PASSIONSWEGE format, a core component of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, brings designers together with Vienna shops and manufacturers with on-the-spot experimental projects and interventions.

The resulting installations are all on show from 1.10. to 10.10. during normal opening hours in the business premises. A special reception takes place on the PASSIONSWEGE evenings in the presence of the designers.

The VIENNA DESIGN WEEK Passionswege are supported by the
Vienna Chamber of Commerce
