Press Release (PDF)
The work arrived for Concrete Form in perfectly honed crates. It was as if all of Arne Jacobsen’s students had started working at Dietl International– Black, red, green, yellow, blue, they came along with a bin of what looked like production over-cuts. Apparently there is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out policy at the most improbable crating facility in the world.
Each crate was opened to reveal the makings for a color-matched set of pedestals, assembly supplies and all.
