What began as a spontaneous enthusiasm for a photo developed into a lasting fascination for one of the best-selling products in the world: the Monobloc, as it is known in professional circles. This is the simple plastic chair that is widely distributed around the globe, as director Hauke Wendler discovered during his research journey. In November 2021, a documentary film will be released in theaters that explores this chair and its countless contexts. Hauke Wendler sees the piece of furniture, which is made from a single mold – hence the name – as a representative of stories, anecdotes, and snapshots. Although the Monobloc never takes center stage, it is always a supporting character and somehow present on all five continents that the director has traveled. The piece of furniture, of which there are reportedly a billion copies, is as universal as few other objects. The photo book 'Monobloc', which traces Hauke Wendler's journey alongside the documentary film, is a love letter to the most famous plastic chair in the world.
