Furniture description
| Two things happened that day. In the morning Toon called and asked whether I was interested in having an alder. An alder? The word didn’t mean much to me. But without stopping to think I said yes that I was and after climbing onto the back of his tractor we drove off to his wood.
After about 15 minutes we came upon a huge tree, felled down by the storm.
With an enormous motor-saw Toon began to cut the tree into pieces. Five minutes later heavily loaded, we were lurching back.
That evening Peter phoned to tell me about the light show they were organizing to round off the German-French collaborative workshops they had been holding at their house these past six weeks. That wasn’t all. He also asked me for an appropriate contribution to the evening, something specifically to do with light. After contemplating for some time I came up with a design that was both heavy and light: in short, a lamp.
