Upon entering the LAS DREI office building at Vienna’s Praterstern, one is welcomed in an “artful” way. The entrance area of the 10-Story office building was redesigned based on a concept by Christian Heiss, in collaboration with Austrian artist Peter Sandbichler.
The original space was completely opened up, the existing staircase removed, resulting in a spacious and clearly structured foyer. This immediately sparks curiosity.
Drawn in by the salmon-red “carpet,” the eye is first caught by the art objects created by Peter Sandbichler – “Bench” and “Stool” – which can be “grasped” and “possessed,” before moving on to the oversized Tolomeo floor lamp by Artemide.
