COOL CYCLE_24 - LOOS LIMITS
"ONE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT QUALITY MATERIALS AND GOOD WORKMANSHIP DO NOT SIMPLY MAKE UP FOR A LACK OF ORNAMENTATION; THEY FAR SURPASS IT IN LUXURIOUSNESS. MORE THAN THAT, THEY MAKE ORNAMENTATION REDUNDANT. NOWADAYS, EVEN THE MOST VULGAR PERSON WOULD HESITATE TO DECORATE A FINE WOOD WITH INLAY WORK, ENGRAVE OVER THE NATURAL PATTERNS OF A MARBLE SLAB, OR CUT A MAGNIFICENT SILVER FOX INTO SMALL SQUARES TO MAKE A CHESSBOARD DESIGN WITH OTHER FURS...FINE MATERIAL IS GOD'S OWN WONDER."
ADOLF LOOS, 'HANDS OFF, 1917
"THE WORK OF ART IS BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD WITHOUT THERE BEING A NEED FOR IT. THE HOUSE SATISFIES A REQUIREMENT. THE WORK OF ART IS RESPONSIBLE TO NONE; THE HOUSE IS RE- SPONSIBLE TO EVERYONE. THE WORK OF ART WANTS TO DRAW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR STATE OF COMFORT. THE HOUSE SUPPLIES A SPACE OF COMFORT."
ADOLF LOOS, 'ARCHITEKTUR' 1917
