POP UP @ PARK
Mondscheingasse 20 / Vienna 1070
Saturday September 26th 12:00 - 6.00pm
Traditional Romanian folk chairs have personality. Individually tailored to the recipients needs – they not only radiate character & humor – but also transport this rich, distinct local heritage through centuries & cultures.
Fabrics – woven & embroidered by hand – are transformed into a series of travel pillows. By interacting with the history of Transylvania, the pillows are decidedly transporting a re-edition of peasant chairs into a contemporary universe.
“Balancing on the edge of design, crafts, art and decoration Wiener Times fabricate objects of use with a distinct, elegant style yet edgy. The emphasis is on textiles. The pieces are all created with an intense focus on the crafted detail and are actively questioning and pushing the lines between abstraction and function.”
Wiener Times are Susanne Schneider and Johannes Schweiger.
