»A Window Seat and the South Seas« is a design intervention inspired by a defective radiator controller at Folkwang University of the Arts.

For several years, this radiator has been running at its highest setting, with repair attempts proving unsuccessful. The project utilizes the excess heat and draws attention to this situation by transforming the space next to the radiator into a place to spend time – on a bench inspired by historical window seats, or on a cushion next to a textile palm tree, reminiscent of a tropical holiday. Huddled against the radiator, your thoughts wander into the distance, just like they do when you look out of the window or lie on the beach.
