Passing a local hardware shop in Berlin, and believing at the time that good ideas were to be found on the street and not on blank sheets of paper, I saw a stack of flower pots arranged in order of size and had the idea of using them for the base of a small table. I made a lot of these ‘ready-mades’ as a way of imitating some kind of industrial production.
