Fluid spatial and lighting effects were characteristic of Jon Bannenberg's work in the 1960s. He explored them through movable (often perforated) screens, roller blinds, and artificial lighting systems with dimming, filtering and spot-lighting devices.
This drawing shows an old chest-of-drawers used in one corner of the room along with a modern seating system. Bannenberg believed that antique and modern furniture were both showed to the greatest advantage when carefully combined.
