Walking tool

Conceived by Professor Knoflacher in 1975, the wooden construction shows the discrepancy between the space consumed by a medium-sized car and that of a pedestrian. In doing so, he wanted above all to point out the grotesqueness of these conditions and to create more awareness for alternative traffic concepts.
