(DR) The two High-Tech Low-Tech Furniture objects developed for the AIDS conference will be sold here to supportAbout High Tech – Low Tech (HTLT) Furniture Since 2008, Karl Emilio Pircher and Fidel Peugeot have been developing furniture that offers novel functions: so-called High Tech – Low Tech (HTLT) Furniture. The objects are built by the designers as unique items – as objects “made by the artists”. “A table can turn into a chair, while a chair can become a rocking chair. A cabinet can turn into a table, while a chair can be transformed into a coat rack. The integrated new functions of HTLT Furniture evolve according to our customers’ needs. In spite of their unusual appearance, these pieces of furniture are absolutely comfortable and functional. The surfaces are finished with high-tech plastic coating whose feel resembles that of tender leather. Therefore HTLT Furniture is extremely easy to clean and highly wear-resistant. Those who have experienced how much at ease our visitors feel in our seat furniture will understand its success.” (Pircher & Peugeot)
