"Every object has it's magical significance: every object appears as a closed system, it connects with the others through homogeneity or through complimenting them. This homogeneity thrives only from an identical degree of formal perfection, the complementariness from the fact that, together, they constitute a significant system. All these pieces that are held together through simple geometric patterns do not substantially interfere with the structure of the house: if the latter has its own architectural reality, this must be respected through "non-interference," if not, there is no sense in trying to dignify it with more or less cosmetic operations. The principal is that of least effort: a series of actions without violence, tending to maintain the noncommunicating system's closed, and at the same time to state a single idea of a serene and exact way of life."

"The fact is that space itself has the connotation of emptiness; instead of space arising from the living inter-relationship between forms (as a space with 'rhythms'), forms are apprehended, in their relationship to each other, by way of the emptiness which is the formalized sign of space. A room containing space so understood creates a 'natural' effect: we say that it is 'airy'. This is the temptation of emptiness, as when unadorned walls indicate culture and luxury. An objet d'art may seem more precious when it is surrounded by empty space. 'Atmosphere' is thus very often created merely by a formal arrangement which 'personalizes' particular objects through the disposition of empty space." Baudrillard.
