A vehicle for groceries turns into a piece of furniture! The childhood memories of the cathedral of consumption and its altars, the supermarket shelves, are about the (un)attainability of the objects of desire. The child sits in the shopping trolley and reaches out for the goods on offer.

The ‘Sauna Chair’ places its user in a similar situation. In the context
of the Prater Sauna as a temple of hedonistic encounters, the seating furniture establishes a link between those sitting and those dancing – the latter as symbolic objects of desire. In the anonymitycreating situation inherent to the place, ‘the child’s’ range of action is once again externally controlled at arm’s length.

Welcome to the shopping trolley! We’re going on a journey to the
land of milk and honey.
