Overview

Rethinking the fundamentals of planning


Lars Lerup's conceptual explorations as a designer
and thinker have been inspired by philosophers and artists from
Foucault to Beckett. Lerup's furniture designs elude consumer culture.
They conform neither to what is commonly understood as useful nor to
what is typically regarded as necessary. They question the assumed
functions of furniture and, at the same time, their assigned place in
space. His pieces interrogate their roles and positions and introduce a
disturbing or at least disconcerting note to conventional floor plans.

This
autobiography of a design project is about rendering visible the
consumerism that is driving the current economically motivated expansion
of our cities, and dealing with the consequences for the environment
and society.
