Cats have always played a special role at Tecta. Karlchen the cat is "the real boss of Tecta", says Axel Bruchhäuser. And so it was Karlchen who contacted the British architects Alison & Peter Smithson with a letter to Snuff the cat. The two architects subsequently designed the house for "a man and a cat", a witch's house in the forest, which the two moved into 45 years ago.
In the meantime, the fifth generation of Kater Karlchen has made their home here, and at last they dedicated a worthy symbol to their cathood: Kater Karlchen made of wood, painted black and with yellow eyes. A design by Dominik Kirgus from the Studio für Gestaltung in Cologne. Initially, the cat was only intended as a graphic for a Tecta exhibition in Japan, but the Japanese developed such great enthusiasm for history and the animal that Karlchen now comes along as a sculpture on silent paws.
The special feature: Dominik Kirgus traced the form back to Bauhaus, using reduced circles and lines that give Karlchen his linear appearance. His round hump proves that he, like all tomcats, has a mind of his own. Add to this the sparkling yellow eyes - a figure as if it had just sprung from Grimm's fairy tale.
