The square is the nucleus of this line of sculptures and objects. It references the discoveries of Marcus Vitruvius, whose requirements are still prescient today: Venustas, Firmitas, Utilitas.
The objects are made of printed ash wood .
We found the slats for the furniture neatly stacked in the Vitruvian Forest 158 years from now. The two stacks that are exhibited mark the beginning of this collection. The color gradient is characteristic for these pieces. They speak to Vitruv´s call for Venustas (Beauty) and embody his other two parameters of Firmitas and Utilitas. The square is the nucleus of this line of objects and furniture and not just emblematic but also a reminder and reference to Vitruvs’ discovery: that the upright man fits with stretched out arms in a square as well as in a circle - clearly illustrated in the sketch by Leonardo da Vinci.
For me the sketch shows the quadrinity of man. A being who is between the rational world (square), the emotional world (circle), the body and the spiritual world; which I view as the shared space between the square and circle. These objects are positive and radiant messages of the beautiful and colored shades of life. They are based on ancient beliefs and paradigms in combination with ruthless imagination. I believe that our hectic times today again call for these requirements of Marcus Vitruvius.
