Uwe Bresan in architecture magazine AIT 11/09 on "Pinkelgitter":
"When architect Mies van der Rohe - Greta Tugendthat hat remembered later - announced his visit to his client in the 1930s, she panicky hid all porcelain figures and lace doilies decorated on the pieces of furniture in her modern villa in BrĂ¼nn. In order to protect her beloved collection from the clutches of the ascetic modernist, who did not even shrink from ruthless methods to proselytise his undiscerning clientele, Mrs Tugendhat hid the pieces in the basement. Had it been up to the will of Mies and his avant-garde colleagues, all small collector's pieces and their delicately rocheted place mats could have stayed in the basement. However, the odious small crocheted tablecloth could never be banished from the minds and apartments once and for all. With the so-called pee grating by designer Hannes Grebin, Berlin, architects are now able to give a "spattering" utterance to their disgust."
