Edelhofgasse 22 1180 Vienna T +43 664 844 36 61 E [email protected] W http://www.airture.at

airture [er‟tür] is the design label of Inge Zehetner, who, together with architect Gerd Zehetner and other creative people, shares her Viennese studio as a gallery, showroom, workshop, and last but not least as a laboratory for living with all kinds of furniture designs. Seeing the other side of things, recognising, experiencing and using this perspective. The designers have taken "the other side of furniture" as their motto and apply techniques such as rotating, turning, tilting, combining and fading to constantly create new functions and ways of thinking – ideas that sometimes literally turn things upside down.

Founded in 1718, Vienna's Porzellanmanufaktur Augarten is the second oldest of its kind in Europe. Even today its porcelain is still produced and painted by hand, with each item thus being unique. Since the manufactory came into existence, all designs are created in cooperation with well-known artists. Augarten has faced up to contemporary taste by combining modern forms with less elaborate patterns – young designers are actively involved in development at the firm. Based in the heart of Vienna, the company produces its wares according to the principles of environmental awareness and sustainability, so creating values that are set to last – part of Austria's cultural heritage.

Inspiration and technical perfection combine to produce one-off items which are at once articles of daily use and works of art, catering for the demands of modern design while radiating all the charm of bygone days.

Moor & Moor are three brothers from Bregenzerwald who decided to start building beds and sofas for "urban nomads". Andreas, Johannes and Richard Mohr are their names. They come from Andelsbuch and want to uphold the tradition of handicrafts from their parents' company. This resulted in the launch of the Moor & Moor label in 1999. It was prompted by dissatisfaction with a global economy that just offers bland and unexciting furniture catering for mass production someplace in China without any consideration for Nature, the environment or man. Andreas, the architect among the three, looks after the marketing side of the business, Johannes produces upholstered furniture and beds, while Richard, as the joiner, is responsible for building the beds. And all their products are designed so that they can be shipped anywhere in the world without problems.
