Bookshelf Monuments Made in France @ onestar press

These new works are directly coming out of her fascination for the hallstand, a popular piece of furniture in the 1970′s, with hooks for coats and hats a receptacle for umbrellas and usually having a mirror , a small seat, a box, with a lid, for gloves and scarves, which also acted as a table, on the top of which one could place a telephone. This very complex, yet remarkably compact, piece of furniture used as a practical communication/ self decoration centre was placed in the hallway near where the telephone was installed. Designing bookshelves is not the first attempt by the artist in planning objects combining art and design; she previously made, for example, ”Windowpillow - a Berlin habit, 1995″.
