“The lines of these individual objects expand into space, converging into and forming a room sculpture in which the functions of furniture are merely different stages within the system thus created. These utilitarian elements, when placed into a different spatial order, are expanded by us in accordance with the respective room (Raum), so that a new RAUMDEVOUS results from the process. These pieces of furniture are no longer dumbwaiters serving utilitarian conventions, but unique roommates that are endlessly expandable.” (Gruppe B. R. A. N. D. in: Wohnen von Sinnen, Cologne 1986)
