Matthias Pliessnig's Thonet 18 chair

By squirrelbait - October 8, 2007

in Object Culture

You may recognize Matthias Pliessnig through the nest-like quality of this piece, a "modified" Thonet 18 Vienna cafe chair, even though his previous works reflect a sleeker, straighter style. "Like drawing in space," Pliessnig wrapped steam-bent oak strips around the Thonet chair in a woven pattern, securing the structure into place without using glue or hardware.
