Sorry we’re a little late reporting on Vienna Design Week. You must be feeling dreadfully out of the loop. Fear not, we’ve got a highlight for you now.

This is a building dating back to 1808 in Vienna, built as a banker’s summerhouse. Missing a home cinema and mega-basement, of course, but I’d still like one for myself. The image is from a project called The Stranger Within, in which Studio Formafantasma – Italian duo Simone Farresin and Andrea Tremarchi – staged seven ‘interventions’. I don’t think they mean in the AA sense. They mean more in the sense of putting an incongruous item of furniture in a room.

I think both the space and the products look lovely, and the mixing up of classical and modern looks super cool. Except for maybe the bladder chandelier.

However the real gift to you, dear reader, is surely the term ‘intervention’ when it comes to furniture. Having just rearranged the living room myself, and as usual run out of steam half-way through, I’ll be telling visitors that the box of books under the TV and the random armchair tucked under the dining table are ‘interventions’.
