Célia Picard and Hannes Schreckensberger spent six busy weeks in the townships of Cape Town, the World Design Capital 2014. Together with local craftspeople, the Studio Célia-Hannes developed several pieces of frugal furniture adapted to living conditions there. The pieces from the “Frugal Collection” aspire to maximum suitability in use and will contribute to the creation of improved environments in the townships. The Galerie Rauminhalt is showing the results of the project for the first time; it was initiated in the context of a collective open call by the Cape Craft & Design Institute and the CREATIVE REGION Linz & Oberösterreich.
