Driving through Holland
Along numerous motorways
I became inspired
By the phenomenon of the viaduct
Solid grey blocks
Usually anonymous and unseen
Present a world of unique forms
Functional and aesthetic
Grand constructions
Which bring to mind
Structures from earlier times
That always seem to have been there
I also have these associations with the table. A piece of furniture that has, for centuries, played a central part in our lives. A place where paths cross, where we come together to talk, to work or to eat. In the table “Viaduct” I have tried to bring together the massive, solid forms of the viaduct with a sense of timelessness.
