TOBIAS SCH\u00c4FER,\u00a0YOUNG DESIGNER<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/span>Exhibition from the 9th of march to the 6th of\u00a0october 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition\u2019s program of contemporary design started the 8th of march 2012 with the young german designer\u00a0Tobias Sch\u00e4fer (*1976, D-Ettlingen)<\/strong>. Tobias Sch\u00e4fer is the best representative for this new activity, as he has an atypical profile, graduated by the staatlische Akademie der bildende K\u00fcnste in Karlsruhe and Stuttgart, notably by John Bock, he came to design after his studies through installation and sculpture.<\/p>\n

His work represents the perfect synthesis of an artistic design, conceptual and unique. And that\u2019s exactly the kind of positions that Kissthedesign decided to support: a design that is not only functional but most of all conceptual, blurring the boundaries with contemporary art.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no coincidence if Tobias Sch\u00e4fer quotes the Memphis group and the american artist Richard Artschwager as a reference. The Memphis group approach was to deconstruct design with a radical artistic position that worked against the so-called good taste and Richard Artschwager productions are hybrid objects, functional and playful offsprings of minimal and conceptual art.<\/p>\n

Tobias Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s productions are unique exemplars intricately crafted by hand that mix vintage parts with geometric artifacts lacquered in pastel or flashy colours.
\nAs passionate bargain-hunter, he collects vintage furniture that he customizes with geometrical, often polygonal, parts in lacquered wood. Thus he confronts the soft lines and natural materials with patina of the antique furniture to the hard forms of the glossy and artificial new parts.
\nLike a kind of amused and irreverent comment on the history of design.<\/p>\n

His furniture appear sometimes like strange genetic manipulations, character\/piece of furniture that we could imagine coming from a fairy tale \u00e0 la Tim Burton. Tobias Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s world is at the same time fairylike, funny, childish, installative and conceptual, like a sculpture you can sit on!<\/p>\n
