Kai Stania
The Viennese designer Kai Stania is characterised by his breadth – his design work includes home and office furniture, outdoor furniture, industrial design and architecture for exhibition stands. His strength is the perfect symbiosis he is able to create between aesthetics and functionality. An array of international and national awards are evidence of his perfect control over the art of good design. These include the White Star prize, Red Dot Awards and the IF-Product Design Award.
Good design defines and specifies something without restricting its possibilities.Stania designed, among other things, the AL-Management series for Bene, which was featured in the James Bond film “Quantum of Solace”. AL stands out for its prominent use of aluminium as a symbol of effortlessness and high-tech character. Items in the AL series are also distinguished by their clarity and the way they are pared down to the bare essentials as well as by their exceptional details and superior quality of construction.
