This bench, named Blue Rain & Future Rock’n’Roll, was originally designed for the Hamburg court in the 1960s. Recreated by Markus Friedrich Staab, the bench has been spray-painted, re-modeled and re-lacquered with 12 layers of 2K varnish.
Markus Friedrich Staab was born in 1964 in Aschaffenburg, Germany.
He’s a self-taught artist and designer. In 1986 he opened his studio called Atelier Staab where he was active as a visual artist in sculpturing, painting & composing.
In 2010 he started working with „re-cycled and found objects“.
He paints and transforms existing, mostly vintage furniture into unique pieces, thereby adding new value and a sense of life to otherwise overlooked everyday or even historical objects.
Staab’s work is included in a variety of private collections.
