Als Gestalter und Denker hat sich Lerup bei seinen konzeptionellen Erkundungen von Philosophen und Künstlern von Foucault bis Beckett anregen lassen. Lerups Möbelobjekte entziehen sich der Konsumkultur. Sie entsprechen weder dem als landläufig nützlich noch dem als notwendig Verstandenen. Vielmehr stellen sie vorgegebene Funktionen der Möbel infrage und dazu auch gleich den ihnen zugewiesenen Platz im Raum. Die Objekte hinterfragen ihre Rollen und Positionen und bringen einen störenden oder zumindest irritierenden Faktor in konventionelle Grundrisse ein. In dieser Autobiografie eines Designprojektes geht es darum, das Konsumverhalten sichtbar zu machen, das den wirtschaftlich motivierten Ausbau unserer Städte derzeit antreibt, und sich mit den Konsequenzen für die Umwelt und sozialen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen.

Lars Lerup's conceptual explorations as a designer and thinker have been inspired by philosophers and artists from Foucault to Beckett. Lerup's furniture designs elude consumer culture. They conform neither to what is commonly understood as useful nor to what is typically regarded as necessary. They question the assumed functions of furniture and, at the same time, their assigned place in space. His pieces interrogate their roles and positions and introduce a disturbing or at least disconcerting note to conventional floor plans. This autobiography of a design project is about rendering visible the consumerism that is driving the current economically motivated expansion of our cities, and dealing with the consequences for the environment and society.
