Vanity Table concept

 

The only things we do not throw away, and do not actually use in a functional manner are memories. According to my concept I wanted to use, or rather reuse a certain emotional loads, a load that we are for the most part not even aware  of and yet a load that we are not able to discart. The second part of the concept is a result of my strugle with what furniture could and should be. This all-to-present need of people to fill up empty household spaces without a clear purpose, a need that can be explained primarly as the result of certain social stereotype and behaviour patterns. Besides the fact that memories are very dear and personal, they always carry that specific part of your past. This is probably the main reson why we always somehow preserve that somewhere. What I wanted to achieve is the possibility to always have them close to us, not only during spring time cleaning rutines. What I like most about memories is the idea that only I know the full story. Following my concept to create a piece of furniture where eveything will have its place I have chosen the following; an old tea strainer which I have transformed into a mirror (which is an integral part of a make-up table), my granny`s chambre-pot whit the lid which is ntergrated into a table and serves as a place for desposeing watch, jewlery and other similar items. In this way I have given these objects a new function and have designated a certain space for specific items. Showing memories is like looking at family albums always a bit discomforting but nice. When people look at this table they see the outer surface without knowing what it means to me, in that way I hide and expose my memories  at the same time. While other see an ordinary table I see its full sentimental value.
