The Order of Things

Vaduz, Liechtenstein, 2025

On the Museumsplatz in Vaduz, between the opaque façades of the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Hilti Art Foundation, the most human gesture is a round concrete bench. In 2025, for its exhibition “On the Street”, the Kunstmuseum asked us for ideas for the plaza. We designed a temporary pergola extending the grids of the surrounding buildings into the plaza. We found used timber with the salvage store ZirkuLIE. With less timber and a smaller budget, we broke the pergola up into islands around the bench. It has not been built.
