About the Item
These "Flatscreen" chairs, created as part of Schimmel & Schweikle’s research project Flat Furniture, transform the familiar plastic monobloc garden chair into a striking exploration of form, perception, and materiality. By flattening the side, front, and top views of this ubiquitous object, Schimmel & Schweikle reconstruct its essence in two dimensions, then reanimate it through printed digital renderings. The result is a sculptural seat that feels simultaneously physical and virtual, a piece of furniture that captures the tension between screen-based imagery and tangible design. Each chair becomes both a functional object and a thought experiment, inviting the viewer to reconsider how digital representations shape our understanding of space and everyday things.
Janne Schimmel (Netherlands) and Moreno Schweikle (Germany) studied together at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where they began their collaboration as Schimmel & Schweikle. Rooted in both digital culture and material experimentation, their practice explores the shifting boundaries between virtual and physical worlds. Through furniture, installations, and sculptural works, they examine how everyday objects can become carriers of technological reflection, opening up new dialogues about form, function, and the evolving role of design in contemporary life.

Blown-Up Chair by Schimmel & Schweikle, Netherlands, 2022
By Janne Schimmel
Located in Antwerp, BE
Blown-up chair by Schimmel & Schweikle, crafted from recycled plastic durable hard PU coating with brown peel structure.
Schimmel & Schweikle is an ongoing collaboration between Janne Schimmel and Moreno Schweikle. Their work revolves around the nexus of technology, art, and culture. In that realm, Schimmel & Schweikle focus on developing concepts that deal with the closing gap of the digital and physical realm. For their graduation project "Return to Default" in 2018, Moreno Schweikle and Janne Schimmel digitally manipulated the DNA of three standard office chairs, creating faintly familiar mutants. The ordinary desk chair became a three-seater sofa, and twelve office stools melted into a majestic lounge chair. This particular conference chair was blown up into an overstuffed version, showcasing the importance of recycling shapes in design. The off-size frame was 3D-printed, traditionally upholstered, and reintroduced into the office space.
