Schloss Hollenegg for Design is pleased to announce its ninth annual design exhibition: WOOD LAND. The exhibition focuses on the forest and its most important resource - wood. The show demonstrates various techniques for processing wood and imparts knowledge about different tree species and wood essences. Each object on display also provides an opportunity to discuss topics such as global warming, forest management and sustainable wood production. Curated by founder Alice Stori Liechtenstein, the exhibition features works by twenty-one up-and-coming designers in dialog with three centuries of historical woodwork embedded in the fabric of the castle. The exhibition shows the wide variety of objects that can be made from the material: from furniture and lighting to flooring and paneling to the countless practical and decorative objects that can be found in a house - and sometimes only in a castle.
The exhibition continues Liechtenstein's ongoing exploration of materials as fundamental building blocks of design and the crucial role they play in sustainability. Wood is one of the most sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials available. At the same time, it is important to consider appropriate forestry practices that preserve the forest in the face of rising temperatures and allow us to harvest timber sustainably.
