Seating furniture and cushions for both indoor and outdoor use at the Reich-für-die-Insel Artspace in Innsbruck.
The pieces were created when we were able to access the old elementary school in Wattens before its renovation, salvaging the blackboards from the abandoned classrooms before they were thrown away and giving them a new purpose.


/ If a, b, and c are the side lengths of a right-angled triangle, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse, then the equation a² + b² = c² holds true. Conversely, if in a triangle with sides a, b, and c the equation a² + b² = c²  is satisfied, then the triangle is right-angled, with the right angle opposite the side of length c. The square on the hypotenuse might be thought of as a dream of the legs. /Pythagorean theorem?/
