DESIGN NAME: Collection Faceted
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Furniture
INSPIRATION: Collection Faceted is designed to explicit the unique experience of Tirol, where nature and people coexist and complement each other, using natural resources, developing
traditions and taking care of the environment. We decided to look at the traditional local wood from a modern angel in order to bring it out in a fresh design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Faceted are made of identical spruce cants what makes this collection unique. Solid wooden details provide the necessary
stability on the one hand, and please eye, urging you to touch and feel them, on the other hand. The facets elegantly expose the exceptional texture of the wood.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Faceted chair collection is born in the region where people and nature beneficially coexist and interact. The Faceted are made from traditional Tirolean spruce wood, which is the most popular and at the same time quickly renewed material.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in October 2023 in Innsbruck, Austria, and finished in February 2024. The Faceted has not been exhibited yet.
