Location
Swiss Architecture Museum, Basel, Switzerland
Scale
1:500 / 1:1
Task
- The stored plaster models, some over 50-years old, by the Swiss architect and interior designer André M. Studer, have collected dust and are partially damaged. The furniture prototypes are in pieces and small parts are missing.
- I should refresh the exhibits with a steady hand and without major restoration effort.
My solutions
- I clean and restore the plaster and wood models so that they are complete and look presentable.
- I reassemble the furniture using re-constructed parts. I achieve an authentic, age-appropriate look by using old wood, rusty screws and grease-polished leather.
