Sitting is more than a physical gesture – it signifies lingering, gathering, negotiating. It is a form of communication between body, object, and space.
In collaboration with yardshedoffice and hosted within the spaces of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, a group exhibition was conceived with the aim of presenting a diverse ensemble of seating objects. The selection brings together works by emerging German and international designers and artists, reflecting a broad spectrum of approaches to form, function, and spatial dialogue.
Thirty-seven selected seating objects — ranging from functional design to sculptural gesture — are arranged within a floor grid to form a walkable archive, a contemporary topography of sitting.
In addition to the exhibition concept and curatorial work, we collaborated with yardshedoffice to develop posters, an exhibition paper, and a catalog. Three of our own objects were included in the show.

Hannes Herbst + Robert Freitag
We are two designers and students of interior architecture at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle.
Together as studio herbst.freitag based at Pittlerwerke Leipzig we try to shape objects and spaces through materiality and aesthetization of mundane, industrial means and production methods. Rather than being subordinated as purely functional details, we treat them as ornaments.
Our functional objects and interventions are intended to respond to spaces, to have the ability to structure and invite.
