Functionless

While functional items form the backbones of our home, decorative objects animate the spirit of the home. The absence of clear functionality allows them to be susceptible to open interpretations. The very nature of being functionless shifts the focus from practicality to emotional associations and psychological effects. Decorative objects derive their meanings from the capability of taking our mind away from immediate reality and being a point of departure to the realm of imagination. The experiences of being away provide micro escapes that color the daily life with a sense of joy characterized in contrast, beauty and sometimes, oddity. It’s those objects detached from functional values that enrich a space with narratives, layered meanings and feelings.
