is an Austrian furniture label with a strongly pronounced conceptual and aesthetic claim. Minimum material, maximum materiality! This is a key aspect, formally and resource-wise.

All pieces are designed and developed exclusively by Martin Breuer-Bono and manufactured in small batches by local craftsmen using carefully selected materials.

„To design products to me means to reflect on the essence of things. What does the product really mean for its user? Is it owned in the sense of proudly owned? What notions does it convey? I try to charge my objects with relevance and radiation. They should suggest a specific habitus, evoke a characteristic situational feel, contain a momentum of behavioural energy. And they should allow to establish a relationship with the user. Things transform to objects, when they allow persons to relate to them. In this way, to design a product is a search for humanity, a redefinition of culture. To what kind of world is an object pointing? This is my own and personal responsibility: Beautiful systems.“

Martin Breuer-Bono

holds a Master‘s Degree from the Technische Universität Wien and a MDes Degree from the Royal College of Art, London. Apart from formal-aesthetic considerations his work is focused on conceptional contents always striving for the quality of the essential. His products are loaded with a highly articulated aesthetic claim and incorporate very much of a minimalistic approach. Breuer-Bono's work recurrently hovers over the poles meaning and relevance, simplicity and manifestation, limitation and depth. His projects won prestigious international design and innovation prizes, recently nominated for the German Design Award 2015 Excellent Product Design, shortlisted for the Austrian Design Prize 2015 and selected for the Green Product Award 2018. His work was on display in exhibitions in numerous countries.
Martin Breuer-Bono lives and works in Graz, Austria.
