WRITING: DESIGNED DISAPPEARANCE. EGON EIERMANN’S DEFINED NOTHINGNESS EXPLAINED BY FLORIAN BENGERT

Hot off the press! I'm so happy to be part of this wonderful issue. Big thanks for the opportunity to share a few thoughts about the beloved Eiermann table. In order to read it, please check out MacGuffin Nº 8, an issue devoted to that most studious of objects: the desk. MacGuffin pulls open desk drawers and points up desk plants, surveying a succession of clean desks and messy desks, radical desks and resolute desks, makeshift desks and talk show desks, not to mention the fine art of office pranking and presidential doodling. Featuring Francois Dallegret, Egon Eiermann, Enzo Mari, Saint Jerome, Superstudio, Jan Švankmajer and many, many more.

“Designed Disappearance. Egon Eiermann’s defined nothingness explained by Florian Bengert”, in: MacGuffin Magazine Nº 8 The Desk, 7 Febr 2020, pp. 58-63, ISBN: 2405820375
