Unique 'Dining table for one. The special design allows the diner to adjust the amount of space for food on the table. This means that you can restrict yourself to just one dish, as there's not enough space for another one. The author died from malnutrition. The initials A. B. C. are scratched on the other side of the tabletop.' Catalogue Barrel & Spindel, Traces of existence 2024-2025, p. 169. The Barrel & Spindel brand has focused on the interplay of different materials and the recontextualization of existing furniture, furnishings and artefacts. The resulting additional possibilities for interpretation and use go hand in hand with the respective designer's philosophy. The artist behind this object is also of the opinion that the newly created work of art should be separated from the name of its creator. In this way, other people can better experience the nuances of feelings, emotions and meanings that a work of art can express. See Barrel & Spindel catalog, Traces of existence 2024-2025, p. 160 ff.
