Min meets Mies

Mies van der Rohe and Min stand for design principles of long validity. Min for the Egyptian cube stool, which was formative in the Middle Kingdom for almost a thousand years in many forms for the representation of people in a seated position. Mies for functional design in architecture and design, which is still being further developed after almost a hundred years. Form follows Function. In the sculpture, the formal principles of the cube stool and the Barcelona Chair interpenetrate. In both cases, it is also about de-individualised design, about geometrisation, whereby the head of the Egyptian cube stool is represented by the concrete cube sunk into the sculpture.
