Das Zweite Leben – far-traveled furni­ture

The FS Meteor is a multi-disciplinary re­search vessel that has been serv­ing German deep-sea re­search in the fields of ma­rine geol­ogy, ma­rine bi­ol­ogy, ocean­og­ra­phy and ecol­ogy since 1986. After 1,105,604 nau­ti­cal miles of world­wide re­search voy­ages, we gave the old wood of the planked deck a “sec­ond life”. The proj­ect started on Oc­to­ber 4, 2011 with the re­mov­al of the old deck.

The design of the furni­ture and ob­jects is based on the con­cept of the “sec­ond life”. Our aim was not to hide the his­to­ry of the far-trav­eled wood – scratches, furrows and traces of years of re­search work on deck – but to trans­form it into some­thing new with its in­scrip­tions. Raw and smooth sur­faces com­ple­ment each other, creat­ing an inter­play be­tween the old wood and new pieces of furni­ture.

The proceeds from the sale were donated to children and youth proj­ects in the field of ma­rine envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tion.

Does a cloud fit in a suit­case? What noises does a kitchen make? What is a scent organ? Where do you sleep during a polar ex­pedi­tion? What is it that glows in the under­ground of Frank­furt? Where is the division be­tween gaps and holes? And what hap­pens when 20 pigeons move into a gal­lery?
