Statement f maurer
"I took the freedom to step out of the obligation of a product designer. Out of the expectation that begins with the idea and does not end with the serial implementation. Out of the constraint that the design must last meet many rational, production and market criteria.

So I took the liberty of turning my back briefly on serial production and to dedicate myself to the appeal of the individual piece. My surroundings, at that time in the Austrian Waldviertel as well as my travels to distant countries, had provided me with found pieces and objects that offered me the challenge and inspiration to make them usable in a different way. Unnoticed, I was already engaged in the process, adding functions with subtle interventions that transferred the objects in context and use. Others, especially the imposing pieces of wood, were transformed according to my ideas and given functions through precise additions reflecting my signature as a product designer: Reduced to the maximum.

Now, 50 objects later, I am still involved in the work in progress. Piece by piece, but each a "one-off".

You can find my objects - as far as still available - in the design galerie, Vienna.

The exhibition was accompanied by the book "one off | vol. | by f maurer ".
