A contemporary German oak Stuhlhockerbank, designed by Fehling & Peiz in 2009. The long rectangular bench is constructed from four oak planks and incorporates three inserted spindle-back chair forms at intervals along the seat. Raised on multiple turned tapering oak supports.
Yvonne Fehling and Jennie Peiz are German designers who founded their joint design studio and product label Kraud in 2006. Working between Karlsruhe and Munich, their practice explores furniture and objects that reconsider familiar forms and patterns of use, particularly within communal and public settings.
Their best-known project, Stuhlhockerbank, was developed from 2007 onward as a hybrid between chair, stool, and bench. Rather than functioning as a conventional linear bench, the design combines multiple seating types into a continuous sculptural structure intended to encourage different orientations and forms of interaction. Versions of the Stuhlhockerbank are installed at the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, where they form part of the museum’s permanent in-situ collection.
