Seating landscape

Vienna based studio mathak + mahlknecht developed with Stani-Polsterei a sofa system  – presented in the context of Passionswege 2014 – that reflects on being settled.

Stani Polsterie participated at Passions-wege’s program with the vienna-based studio mathak + mahlknecht (Magdalena Akantisz and Peter Mahlknecht).

Employing Stani Polsterie’s expertise, the creative studio have fabricated a modular sofa system.

 In their Passions-wege project the two young designers mathak+mahlknecht are departing a long way from the conventional sofa or chair on four feet. Instead of thinking about sitting, they reflect on being settled, on what it means in reality to occupy a place and design it according to one’s own needs. Their object made of variable upholstery elements is not only a seating and reclining landscape in form, but also alludes in its aesthetics and colour-play to the image of a (cultivated) landscape.
