Vienna Design Week Passionswege: Beza Projekt @ Atelier Telliez


Published on 23.11.2011

One of our favourite projects during Vienna Design Week was the Passionswege project "The Swing" by Warsaw based Beza Projekt at Atelier Telliez.

Philippe Telliez is a "tapessier" - a profession that can only be truly described in paragraphs, but essentially is an upholsterer who primarily works with wall hangings, tapestries and the like.

Anna Łoskiewicz and Zofia Strumiłło-Sukiennik from Beza Projekt combined this "hanging" aspect  with the materials Atelier Telliez's use on a daily basis to create a luxurious swing - designed for adults looking to escape their laborious adult world by fleeing to a  children's world. A flight that, ironically, is only possible thanks to the riches the laborious adult world has brought them.

And of course, as a bit unadulterated rococo exuberance in the midst of a city that almost invented the phrase "ostentatious consumerism" a geographically relevant project.

Just delightful!
