Mischer’traxler is Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler, two emerging Austrian designers who recently graduated from the IM master program of Design Academy Eindhoven. Currently based in Vienna, the duo develop products, furniture, exhibitions and more, examining the familiar from various perspectives in order to draw their own conclusions or to ask new questions. Their practice leads to integrated concepts, systems, and visions, instead of single products. Already exhibited at international art and design festivals, they recently developed a project commissioned by the Vienna Design Week 2009, and their project, “The idea of a tree” won an honorary mention at this year’s Prix Ars Electonica, the DMY Award 09 and the Austrian Experimental Design Award 09.
