“Without a table.” What does that even mean? The Zonder tafel Sculpture invites contemplation. This intriguing piece of art stands here on Rode Kruisstraat.
The Zonder tafel Sculpture was created by Israeli sculptor Shlomo Schwarzberg. It was erected in 1992. The sculpture resides in the Buiksloot neighborhood.
Notice its resemblance to a tilted house. The Zonder tafel Sculpture is an angular form. It is made of robust corten steel.
Inside this structure are two benches. They face each other. But there is no table between them. Hence, “Zonder tafel”.
Think about the conversations that might unfold here. Two people facing each other ready to connect. Yet the absence of a table changes things. It removes a barrier and encourages openness.
The Zonder tafel Sculpture is more than just art. It is an invitation to engage. It asks us to consider what is truly essential in human connection. What do you think?
