Isochrone
Designed by Mischer’Traxler, Isochrone tries to capture time and pace within a process with an object that is an hybrid between a flat surface table, and a bowl.
Studio Mischer’Traxler was invited in the Schloß Hollenegg castle for a week to develop a site-specific design project to the theme of ‘slow’. Isochrone, the resulting installation, tries to capture time and pace within a process and an object. It is a constant movement representing time and continuity, to be observed in a calm, meditative manner.
A multilayered tabletop, representing the various layers of Schloss Hollenegg’s history, is made by carefully piling colourful strata, each hand-made out of pigments, glue, sawdust and paper, onto each other. Once dried, the finished tabletop is placed underneath a big pendulum. Slow and constant, the pendulum swings circularly back and forth, abrading a section of the tabletop.
Through the monotonous, steady and continuous movement, a bowl is formed on the tabletop, and the layers of which the surface is made of, are unveiled. The finished object is a hybrid between a flat surface table and a bowl.
