Question

Is it a table or a stool?

Solution

Together with Thomas A. Werginz, driendl*architects developed a furniture group consisting of high tables, tables and stools, each can take on the function of the other.

The geometric shape of the square and the upward spiral, made of reinforcing steel, corresponding to the reinforcement of round supports,

give the furniture its aesthetic expression, signaling stability and lightness.

The table tops or seats can be made of precast concrete or solid wood (nut) as required.

The furniture in this group of three is unobtrusive and simple, but at the same time noble and functional, modern and timeless.

Solution

the table is a square
the table a concrete slab on rods ascending – spiral
the table is society
the table is conversation
the table invites you to take a seat – on a stool
and
the table invites you
to stand at it
… waiting
… talking
… laughing
… drinking
… eating …
