What defines a home?
We want to look at the similarities and differences between items from homes all over the world. What happens with products after they have left the store?
Objects tell stories of moments in our lives, people we have met and places we have been to.
We have collected personal stories about objects. Some of these objects are reproduced in red plastic with the owners story prined on the surface.
At the Milan fair 2005 The objects were spread to different places all over the world and we asked the new owners to send us images and stories from their homes.
This is a long time survey where we collect stories and explore what makes people love or hate an object.
That might be what I'm hoping for. A fire, so that some of my stuff would burn up because I can't throw them away. I've got this chinese box. It is like a time capsule, kind of. It was locked inside another box and I have been trying to open it, but it didn't work! So finally I had to use a hammer and bend it open. And there it was. And at the bottom there was a protection sheet and underneath was also a lot of secret stuff. I know exactly how it smells, that box.
