Pour les Alpes!

. Monday, January 5, 2009




"The furniture ‚Ehrfurcht’ is inspired from the raw and unpredictable nature of the Alps. Archaic and heavy in its design, an inner hidden space is vaguely perceptible only through a crack, which draws through the hole object.The ebony coating of its outer skin contrasts to its raw inner space, which is hand-carved from precious Swiss pine".
"Ehrfurcht" is part of the collection called "Echos" the winning furniture serie of the competition announced by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
Design: Tina Stieger and Annina Gähwiler of Pour les Alpes
