bonpart is a Vienna based furniture and product design studio run by Verena Waidmann and Lukas Gstöttner.
The collaboration is a permanent dialogue, in which we draw upon different backgrounds in engineering and fine art.
In our work we aim for timeless beauty and intelligent solutions, resulting in projects with a certain calmness of clear-lined shapes, yet always with a playful twist. Our sculptural approach goes well with a focus on technical refinements and attentive details.
We have a hands-on approach, so we experience technical feasibility as part of the creative process and often as a source of inspiration.
Having two well-equipped workshops, one for metal and one for wood, plus a strong local network of artisans and experts in various fields, provides us with valuable experience in craftsmanship and material understanding.
We pay attention to the sustainability of our projects, not only in terms of adequate material usage and quality processing but also when it comes to socio-economic considerations.
Our personal design principles go hand in hand with sustainable considerations, by creating lasting aesthetics opposed to serving short-lived trends.
