Constructed from 4,484 legos, this form measures 106% of the original Rietveld design. This work is number 4 from the edition of 5. Signed and numbered with applied manufacturer's label to underside: [Droog Mario Minale 4/5].

"In becoming "more" than the original in multiple ways, the design becomes a statement on modernism, the emancipation of the individual in a postmodern society and ultimately an invitation to participate and have fun, revealing opportunities in unpretentious materials and techniques." -Mario Minale
literature: Simply Droog, Ramakers & Bakker, pg. 66 A Human Touch, Droog, ppg. 100-101
