The artist Olly Mason integrated works by Felix Schwake into her spatial installations in 2021. Among the pieces used were the FS8 consoles as well as FS46 with mirror. The works appeared in the context of a publication in Wallpaper Magazine.
The use of the objects within artistic spatial installations highlights a central aspect of the work: furniture is not understood as isolated objects, but as elements within spatial situations. Their effect emerges through the interaction of proportion, material, light, body, and atmosphere.
The works by Felix Schwake follow a reduced architectural attitude. Clear geometries, restrained materiality, and formal calm are intended not to dominate space, but to structure and focus it. Architecture and interior design are understood as a background for perception and everyday life — not as visual overstatement.
Within artistic installations, it becomes evident that functional objects can also act as carriers of atmosphere and spatial meaning. The consoles do not appear as decorative statements, but as precisely placed elements within a spatial composition.
The publication in the international context of Wallpaper Magazine also reflects the intersection of architecture, art, and interior design in which the works operate. The focus is not on style or short-term trends, but on the question of how material, order, and reduction influence spatial perception.
