Writings & Bibliography
I have published two seminal essays on the Monobloc:
Das beste Möbel der Welt (The best furniture in the world), in: DER FREUND #4, Kathmandu/Berlin, June 2005, pp. 6 – 13 Download
Sit down and be counted; in: Art Review, London, April 2006, pp. 58 – 61 Download
Ingo Niermann interviewed me for his column Die beste Welt, in: Monopol, Berlin, January 2005, pp. 58 – 59. I contributed a collection of photos for Ruedi Baur´s contribution to the 2006 Saint-Étienne Design Biennale catalogue: Juste avant la transformation – Etat Repetitif. Anneke Bokern wrote a little portrait that came with a rich spread of monobloc photos from funtionalfate: Plastic Praise – Monobloc: A Modern Myth, in: DAMn°9 Magazine, Brussels, January/February 2007, pp. 92 – 97. Bert Rebhandl took a train down to Erfurt to spend an inspiring early summer day with me and published a lead story in Austrian daily´s Der Standard weekend design supplement: Der Weltenthron. I emailed with Alice Rawsthorn ages ago and was happy, she took up the topic for her column in The International Herald Tribune. There was metafilter, core77, designboom, thingsmagazine, Swiss TV, Haaretz, De Morgen, various Unis, Pecha Kucha, and more I just forgot.. On Kuechenradio´s podcast you can hear me chatting about the mono with the guys for an hour, back in 2006 and in German however.
