Got wood?

For a second-life transformation to be successful, the inidividual must forget the previous function and associations of the object. They must also 'see' the raw material that the object is made from.

For example, if I were turning a broken chair into a side table, I would need to forget that the broken pieces of wood were once used to support a person's weight. Below are several images showing a variety of objects that, despite of their different functions, are made from wood.














The above principle applies to all products - all objects can be categorized in to the raw material(s) that they are made from. By doing this it will make the work of any second-life designer easier.
