In the exhibition "The Chairman" at the designforum Steiermark, the designer and architect Martin Mostböck shows how he approaches the challenge of an armchair design, which is considered the supreme discipline in design. The architect and designer Martin Mostböck designs furniture, houses, interiors, everyday objects and is a border crosser between disciplines.
In the exhibition Mostböck shows designs that were created in the last two decades. On display are armchairs and furniture that stand in the field of tension between art and serial product.
Among other things, excellent museum pieces will be presented. But small series and serial products of individual pieces can also be studied in the show. In this way, it is possible to trace the wide world between experiment, craft, industry and sustainable design.
The exhibition shows how connections between different areas are entangled and flow into the design process. Mostböck thereby attempts to make these invisible connections visible.
