As part of the Designmonat Graz 2017, five Austrian designers were invited to develop prototypes for a smart urban furniture made of wood, in collaboration with the Styria wooden cluster, together with five Styrian timber construction companies.

Martin Mostböck designed a basic dwelling, an archaic habitation from these geometric components: a simple cone with a canopy that rises at a point orthogonal to the ground.

The object is a thought-provoking resting place in the accelerated world of mobile telephony and telephone mobility. A visible object in the virtual space. A visually tangible hub in an unpredictable WLANdscape... a metaphor for privacy in public space.

The built, fleeting idea of ​​a center under virtual, de-central circumstances. An object as a culmination point. An ephemeral intervention in urban space, temporary ... used or un-used, utilized or un-utilized, made visible... made of construction-timber and plywood... milled, roughly built and quickly erected...

…the Rough One.
