The international design scene drew its attention to Graz in May 2017. With 120 program points and 99 partners, Design Montat Graz presented all facets of design and invited visitors to the UNESCO City of Design. Create a private space in public area: this was the goal of Smart Urban Privacy. The Creative Industries Styria in cooperation with the Holzcluster Steiermark invited five Austrian designers and architects together with five Styrian carpenters to develop innovative city furniture for the Design Montat Graz.

Thomas Feichtner designed the Grazer Hocker (stool of Graz) for the Smart Urban Privacy project. The installation with the Grazer Hocker creates a place to sit down and take a break - alone, in pairs, or even in a group. The formal design of the installation is a theme which Thomas Feichtner has already taken in numerous projects and was reinterpreted in this furniture. Formally, these stools consist of two oppositely offset hexagons. An interplay of surfaces lines and edges. An independent formal approach with identity for the city.
