On show now at MAK (Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art) in Vienna is the exhibition “Furniture as Trophy" featuring an array of furniture made from animal bits.  On show is a medieval antler chandelier from the Czech Republic, the Swiss architect LeCorbousier's foal-covered armchair - known as "Basculant," an Inuit hunting stool made of seal bones and skin, and a table made from giraffe bone.  Also featured are new objects by designers Helmut Palla (chairs pictured below) and Micha Brendel.
