Airture invites you to bring the whole family to a Sunday open house in the Edelhofgasse: their studio, garden, and wine cellar will be open for expeditions into the world of furniture of a somewhat different kind. Spread out over three storeys, design classics of the last century will find themselves combined with the trendy colours and forms of the Airture creations. The designers will be showing their current collection ‘rotate!’, which is being produced by Kohlmaier in Vienna, Quinze&Milan, and BigSign. The architect Gerd
Zehetner from Archiguards will also be there, offering insight into the history of the rotating and combination furniture by Kiesler, Panton, and PPAG, from1940 until today. The highlight of the event
will be the presentation of the new masterpiece of the ‘rotate!’ collection: a furniture object made of aluminium that appears
to move and rotate weightlessly through space.
