Spezialführung durch das Möbelmuseum Wien für Designerinnen, Designer und Designinteressierte. Eintritt plus Spezialführung: €15,50
Gutes Design entsteht im Spannungsfeld zwischen Kunst und Handwerk, zwischen skulpturalem und pragmatischem Anspruch, zwischen der Arbeit für die Sinne und den Notwendigkeiten des Gebrauchs.
Die Führung “Does form follow function?” zeigt anhand einer Auswahl aus den ca. 5.000 Exponaten des Möbelmuseums Wien, wie sich von der Vergangenheit bis zur Gegenwart die Gestaltungsprinzipien zwischen den Polen Repräsentation und Funktion bewegten.
Besprochen werden Beispiele von funktionswidriger Erhöhung bis zu degradierender Nützlichkeit, so etwa ein purpurbeschlagener Leibstuhl in Form eines Thronsessels oder ein zusammenklappbarer Reise-Thron. Irgendwo zwischen diesen kuriosen Extremen muss sie liegen – die goldene Mitte des guten Designs.
Das Möbelmuseum ist eines der weltweit größten Museen für Wohnkultur. Die Spezial-Führung wird von Mag. Bernd Remsing gehalten.
This event is in German language. Questions in English are possible.
Special guided tour “Does form follow function?”.
Good design is created in the field of tension between art and craft, between sculptural and pragmatic demands, between work for the senses and the necessities of use.
The guided tour “Does form follow function?” uses a selection from the approximately 5,000 exhibits in the Furniture Collection Vienna to show how, from the past to the present, design principles have moved between the poles of representation and function.
Examples are discussed ranging from non-functional elevation to degrading usefulness, such as a purple-trimmed personal chair in the form of a throne chair or a foldable travel throne.
Somewhere between these curious extremes must lie the golden mean of good design.
The Furniture Museum is one of the world’s largest museums of home decor. The special guided tour will be held by Mag. Bernd Remsing.

Since our summer get-together has been a great success, we thought that the December meetup would be a good opportunity to do something similar. So we’re meeting at Gasthaus Schöne Perle this time, a modern take on traditional Austrian restaurants in the second district (about 3 minutes from U2 Taborstraße).
You can bring 2 slides, share stories, discuss new and interesting books and enjoy some good food and drinks as well.
