So the final year is well on it’s way now with my Hons project taking shape.
Whilst looking into memory and how furniture can tell a story I found this design by Agnieszka Lasota. A really interesting piece that does not work on improving old pieces of furniture but preserving them. She said;
“My furniture are vehicles of time, with the aid of technology they allow a journey into the past. Elements of old furniture found at random I treat as museum artifacts — I place them carefully into a glass showcase. Instead of restoring I secure them in their present state. I show them as they are now, bringing back to life their original function in a new form. Sometimes, with electric polarization, I change the glass into a frosted one, hiding contents. I use the slide of the piece in its best time. Then the projection of the picture from the past becomes sharp and readable. The furniture shines again in old glory.”
