OpenSesame

A furniture without carcass

Year: 1995
Customer: Fotostudio Helmreich, Vienna
Distribution: design galerie, Vienna

The "OpenSesame" was developed on behalf of a Viennese photo studio to create a presentation and consulting furniture including packaging system in the corporate design. The furniture was to be mobile and the new boxes and folders within easy reach.

Statement:
With the magic spell "Open sesame!" in mind, I approached the task: A cool cube made of stainless steel opens, inside the treasure is revealed in a warm-looking structure made of wood. This contrast creates the a-ha experience in terms of function and materiality that is so important to my work. The new packaging system was made from rough black cardboard according to my design, haptically again a contrasting play to the smooth photo paper."
