Schwarzenberg - designed by Hans Hollein - is astonishing due to its unusual form. The console with its slim pieces becomes immaterial, an idea, an abstraction. The constant interplay between functional performance and its denial through a disembodied presence are a very strong reference to the Austrian culture of the Secession, along with the materials, the colors and the shape.
Console in wood covered with wood veneer and gold leaf gilding, lacquered base.
