It intends to show the results of involvement between characters. The results of the communication can be softening, stimulating, balancing or dirtying. It all depents of the character which is chosen. The interaction can become visible or invisible. The user makes the choice of characters and tests which way they react to each other. And what is left of the one which is used as a disposable product?

"Furniture should be functional and, whenever possible, sentimental.

The glass is suspended 3 inches above the table by ceder blocks glued together and rubber barriers. For all those ticket stubs, mementos, and little items collected along the way that are too significant to throw away but also lack a proper place to stay...

Any table can be turned into a memory table. And you will find that random things from the past will start to catch your eye..."
