misfits revisited: create your own THONET
THONET GmbH, breadedEscalope
28.9.–7.10.2012
In July 2012, the Viennese design group breadedEscalope began an experiment investigating the products, employees and brand of the long established company of Thonet. The cooperation does not work on the basis of a briefing but on the freedom of communicating an analysis of the form, material, tradition and processes involved in inventing a product. An initial view of the “work in progress” will be presented to the festival visitors in a documentation. They can also, within the framework of workshops, create or re-create their own “Thonet” out of discarded pieces from the Thonet factory. The pieces made can be taken home!
Workshop hours Sa 29.09., Mo 1.10., Tu 2.10., from 2-4 pm
