In DINING Table, Rosemarie Trockel transforms the table top into a surface for planning and designing. Metric and imperial units of measurement become the subject of the image, their precise grids translated into a visual composition that also invites practical use. The title’s first three letters, “DIN”, refer to the German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung), linking the work’s functional and conceptual dimensions. With this, Trockel turns a system of order into an aesthetic field – a table that measures, plans, and reflects its own purpose.
