Alone in a Crowd table is a symbolic representation of modern life in an urbanity
Displayed at Art Basel Sachs’, the “Alone in a Crowd” by designer Rolf Sachs is an innovative furniture unit that represents modern life in an urbanity, where people feel lonely and secluded even when surrounded by the crowd. Featuring 511 miniature figures from different walks of life underneath the glass surface, the symbolic table also includes a clock with hands hovering over the crowd to depict temporary existence of human life. “Barely any of the figures interact with the exception of society’s crucial units, such as families, couples and lovers. The dramatic juxtaposition of scale puts our own existence in perspective and leads us to realize that ultimately in life we stand alone.”
