This year, in Austria, the Wood Design team has presented the pieces that was inspired and influenced by both the Austrian vernacular painted furniture and the beautiful forests of the Stübing Open-Air Museum. The style of the artwork are varied but all centered towards the theme, Change, from different perspectives. The diversity of the presented pieces may change the audience’s perception of furniture and art, providing them a chance to understand the value of Wood Design. While preserving the traditional woodworking techniques, the Wood Design team takes the contemporary route with the material, seeking the “changes” for moving forward by expressing and addressing a variety of concerns in world matters and the need to protect nature.
