What constitutes our everyday? Now more than ever, it’s our homes, and the objects that populate it. The pandemic has compelled us to lead our lives within four walls, but somehow, we’ve found imaginative ways to look in and around us, and reflect on what we choose to live with.
Amongst us are architects and designers, who spend most of their time crafting spaces that do not belong to them. The spaces they do inhabit, however, have always been a source of interest. Every element tells a unique story and resonates with deep meaning, but these objects have always remained private, something that they enjoy in solitude.
Now relaying this story to a broader audience are curators Farah Siddiqui Khan and Natasha Mehta from the art and design world respectively. The duo has recently launched ‘Life with/in Objects’, a repository of images shared by designers around the globe, of objects that form part of their inner world.
