艺术和设计经常与现实而不是现实，与缺席，空洞和暗示缺席。艺术也能引起焦虑；设计，几乎从定义上来说，就不是那么多了。

这款九件套包括一个躺椅、桌子、箱子和书架，所有这些都是在1829年在法兰克福设立的玻璃车间生产的工业浮法玻璃。
正如GRIC所指出的那样，工业规格的玻璃不是制造家具的明显材料，“它是冷的，硬的，易碎的，真的很重。”

你不知道它会有多明显，以什么方式出现。他承认，一路上都有失败和发现。他说，这涉及大量的工程。“这不是火箭科学，但这些部件必须能够正常工作。”

碎片是动态的，你可以移动和调整它们。Grcic说，这几乎是对活塞的庆祝。

它们也是对玻璃家具的焦虑效应的反击。他说，他们把设计人性化了，因此获得了“人机器”的称号。在他们缓慢而精确的运动中有诗。这是出乎意料的。它们也会发出很大的噪音。“

The nine-piece offering includes a chaise, tables, chests and a bookshelf and is all made out of industrial float glass by a glass workshop established in Frankfurt in 1829. Pictured is 'Chest L', 2014 © Fabrice Gousset. Courtesy Galerie Kreo

'There is a considerable amount of engineering involved,' says Grcic, who noted industrial-spec glass is not an obvious material to make furniture out of. 'It's not rocket science but the pieces have to be functional, and work properly' © Ingmar Kurth. Courtesy Galerie Kreo

Because these mechanics are so visible, such as in his chaise and side table, the pieces become as much about them as the effects of glass-on-glass, stark angles and geometry in the air. 'They are almost a celebration of the pistons,' says Grcic

'They humanise the designs,' he adds, hence the Man Machine title. 'And there is poetry in their slow, precise movement. It is unexpected. They also make a great noise.' Pictured is 'Chest S', 2014
