BUCHEGGER, DENOTH, FEICHTNER
by Roberto Croci and Carlo Prada
One studio in Vienna and one in Linz, both opened in 2001, after graduating at the
University of Arts in Linz…these are the head offices of BDF Design. In their work,
Bernhard Buchegger, Michael Denoth and Thomas Feichtner reject everything that is
traditional and believe that "industrial design" is an obsolete definition. They are
convinced that an object's functionality has already been widely explored in the design
field, ever since the era of the Bauhaus School, and they promote a concept based on
the economy; however, distinct from globalisation and mass production.
"We are always looking for something new, because it is simply the evolution of what
has been created up to now. Karl Lagerfeld once said that "creativity is a question of
knowledge"; when we create a chair we follow the same concept: we're not interested
in the technical aspects or if we can pile up 100, one on top of the other. What we want
to explore is the formal aspect". The future? Products with cultural references, including
local products created by small manufacturers.
