No Coffee No Tea
2009, pressboard, carpet, seatings, lighting, promotion material, 1200 x 400 x 350 cm

The calm zone 'No Coffee No Tea' was a special exhibition at the consumer fair ambiente 2009 in Frankfurt. The work was determined by the process of seeking and finding all the seating from existing institutions of Frankfurt and put them together to an integrative island in order to offer the visitor a moment of distance and relaxation from the fair. Taking the furniture from shops, cafes, schools, theaters, etc. from the nearest surrounding of the fair, the calm zone became a bridge to the world outside and visitors were invited to stay, relax, and refresh as long as they wish to. The owners of each loan were promoted in a leaflet with all necessary contact informations.
