The nomadic furniture designed for the two Kunsthalle Wien locations responds to their specific spatial and functional contexts while following a unified formal language.
Kunsthalle Wien Karlsplatz, proposed elements: (Two) table(s). Inspired by Adolf Krischanitz’s notion of “letting the box fly,” the design seeks to strengthen the spatial cohesion that is absent from the exterior by introducing adaptable elements within the interior, all while maintaining horizontal spatial continuity. Informally conceived, the table serves as the communicative center
of the space. It accommodates a variety of uses—ticketing, working, exhibitions, presentations, sales, and storage. Its form is flexible, transformable, and mobile— nomadic in spirit. When fully unfolded, the table becomes the central actor in daily operations; when closed, it serves as a projection surface for special occasions—or simply as a clean, minimalist desk.
Kunsthalle Wien MuseumsQuartier, proposed elements: one cabinet, two roller cabinets. The proposed elements adhere to the same design logic but are tailored to the distinct atmosphere of the space. Here, the furniture takes on a more introverted character. It can quickly close itself off and contain activity when needed, yet remains adaptable and mobile. Shelving heights are adjustable, the pieces are accessible from multiple sides, and they can be freely reconfigured. Special care was taken to ensure that the furniture remains functional and usable even if the sales area is relocated— reinforcing the overall nomadic concept: versatile, responsive, and unbound by fixed context.
