Drawers+, Reclaimed ready-made drawers with a wall mounted plywood construction (fallout of laser and CNC factories) + new function (book shelf, IPad, smartphone docking, makeup area). The project started as an attempt in collecting readymade material through the social media, as a way to collect a large number of drawers for the first “wet paint” exhibition. Around 100 drawers were collected in under a month. The drawers were cleaned and then brought back to use, with an added value (hence the project’s name). The project focused on bedside, floating cabinets, offering various functions. It did relatively well commercially. It raised questions on the way to streamline the collection and the marketing of slightly different objects (as readymade = none identical). The differentiation amongst the collected ready made implied a constant need to fine-tune the design.
