The A-Chair is an object of strik ing consistency: a line of
squared-off wood makes its way around the sitter, w ith a
f luid transition from leg to arm and back rest. The clear
formal language here reduces sitting to the essence. In dialog
w ith this are the interlock ing wood connections: they turn
a structural necessit y into a unique aesthetic feature and
at the same time represent a tour de force of traditional
carpentry. Precisely this tension between functionality and
ornamentation makes Feichtner’s A-Chair a formally singular
creation. The A-Chair was made in cooperation w ith the
Bildraum Bodensee and the Werkraum Bregenzerwald. It was
first shown in April 2016 as part of the exhibition “Thomas
Feichtner /Design Unplugged” in the Bildraum Bodensee.
