Nomadic Ironing Board by chmara.rosinke
“Nomadic ironing board is a piece of furniture realized for the exhibition ‘Nomadic furniture 3.0. New Liberated Living?’ at MAK – Österreichisches Museum für angewandte Kunst / Gegenwartskunst. The exhibition taking its title from the handbooks Nomadic Furniture 1 and 2, authored in 1973/1974 by James Hannessey and Victor Papanek, examined the history of the Do-it-yourself movement. The project of the ironing board was inspired by a complex furniture type ‘Space saving ironing board’ found in a book ‘Do-it-yourself furniture. Exciting designs for your home’ edited by Harry Butler.”
