About
Buchegger, Denoth andFeichter DesignThe Austrian designer
s Bernhard Buchegger, Michael Denoth andThomas Feichtner, based in Linz, Austria, understand “Axiome” as a counter strategy to an economically motivated concept of design. Instead of creating objects according to economic criteria, they search for a strategy apart of globalization and mass production. Their work is dominated by cultural and artistic aspects of design, by formal development as well as a break with the concept of design as a function of purpose. According to them the future lies with products having a regional and cultural reference, fabricated by way of small-scale manufacture.
Buchegger, Denoth,Feichtner declare the definition of “industrial design” as being obsolete and predict a movement back to “manufactories”.

Philippe Starck WW Stool
Philippe Starck WW Stool
In 1991 Philippe Starck designed a fantasy office environment for German film director Wim Wenders (look here for Wim Wenders’ official site). One element of this environment, the WW Stool, is now in production in small series by Vitra. The filigrain design is more a sculpture that it can be used as a stool. It may serve as support for users who prefer to stand rather than an item of furniture intended to be purely functional.
Material: varnished sand-cast aluminum.
