BRAFA 2016
Brussels
Three new participants at the fair - Salis from Salzburg, Landau from Frankfurt and Dierking from Zurich - succeeded in a fine balancing act and a furious joint appearance. Unpretentious and strictly purist, they bring together traditional values and contemporary aesthetics. Nakashima furniture, a large minimalist wall object by the Rhineland artist Otto Boll, a Delvaux painting with the characteristically somnambulistic beauties in an unreal setting, as well as African and Asian objects, combine here in precisely coordinated proximity to form a stimulating ensemble.
In the best eclectic manner, exemplary items
from different worlds, Roman furniture from
the 18th century, harmonize with
African sculptures and contemporary painting,
thus once again reflecting
the fundamental formula of this fair.
Süddeutsche Zeitung, 23.01.2016
“The fact that the three dealers presented some pieces of their offerings in a wooden hut - in fact, it is the design of a mobile house, commissioned by the French state in 1944/45 and designed by Jean Prouvé to house war refugees - irritates only those who expect art and handicrafts to be merely harmonious and pleasing.”
(Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 22.01.2016)
“Dierking, Landau, Salis has achieved an almost sensational coup. Their stand not only accommodates a six-by-six-meter dismountable wooden house designed in wartime 1944/45 by the skilled blacksmith Jean Prouvé, which has become a design icon today. In the best eclectic manner, exemplary items from different worlds, Roman furniture from the 18th century, harmonize with African sculptures and contemporary painting, thus once again reflecting the fundamental formula of this fair.”
