Lot No. 124


An M3 Chair,


designed by Thomas Feichtner in 2011, manufactured by Wiener Werkstätte, Austria, oak, signed and numbered: No 1/5 Thomas Feichtner 2011, 90 x 90 x 90 cm. (DR)

No. 1 (prototype) from the limited edition of 5.

Accompanied by a certificate.

Exhibited: - Raw and Delicate, La Pelota, Milan 2012 - M3 Chair, installation Vienna Design Week, October 2011 - Show me how it works!, Forum Mozartplatz, Salzburg 2011.

The M3 Chair, with its open cantilever frame of wood, addresses the opposites of closed and open, heavy and light, surface and line, and serial product and unique specimen. Freed of the demands of serial production, the design experiments with function, static properties, and material. The resting parts are merely tangents of the construction, their function being only revealed when the chair is used. Its seat suspended within the frame and with its widely flaring legs, the M3 is a chair that creates space instead of saving it. The M3’s dimensions (m3) define one cubic metre in terms of a deliberate appropriation of space: the vacant space is only defined by the chair.
