The Lenggewäädli project, created in collaboration with carpenter and designer Andreas Kölbener, explores the connection between stone and wood as found in Switzerland’s mountain forests.
Sourced entirely from the Lenggewäädli forest, the furniture series merges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Stones from the forest were selected for both their aesthetic and functional qualities, while wood was harvested during the moon phases of 2021. To ensure sustainability, all connections rely on wedges instead of glue.
The collection includes a coffee table, a height-adjustable lamp, stools, and a bench, with each piece named after the coordinates where its stone was found. This project reflects the harmony of natural materials and ecological design principles in functional, timeless furniture.
The Lenggewäädli series has been exhibited at the Lausanne Design Week in Galerie 4 1/2 and the Today Art Museum in Beijing. It is also part of the touring exhibition Swiss Design Classics.
