The Ornamented Life collection explores the power of combining ornamentation with starkly functional, daily-life objects. Ornamentation has the function to enter into people’s lives through the door of enjoyment and subliminally transmit information through the myriad of symbolism involved in an object.
The thoughtfully designed functional objects ask to be handled in a specific way, determining (to a certain extent) how people, quite literally and physically, tackle the important themes ever-present in the small actions.
Thus, functional objects can encourage the materialisation of abstract ideas, either by simply reflecting the values of our society, or by introducing these reflections to the user so that he too can become more aware of the multitude of small and big decisions involved when performing even the most banal of actions.
