Peles Empire at Cell Project Space

Peles Empire' is a collaborative work by Katharina Stoever and Barbara Wolff. The project borrows its name from the Romanian castle Peles, built between 1893 and 1913. The rooms of the castle copy different architectural styles of the past centuries, combining for example art deco, orientalism, renaissance and rococo. The creators of this castle opposed any current design trend by establishing an almost ironic representation of the 'ideal' castle. Stoever and Wolff have reproduced 10 rooms of the castle since 2005.
