Some of the most interesting interior objects were never designed purely as decoration. Baskets, woven hats, stools and containers begin with a practical purpose, but their material and construction can give them a second life within the home.

A woven hat placed on a wall immediately reveals its shape and pattern in a different way. A basket left visible becomes part of the room instead of disappearing into storage. Even simple containers can contribute texture when their fibres, handles and weaving remain visible.

This approach is especially relevant to objects found while travelling. Pieces made for daily use can represent local materials and techniques more naturally than objects produced specifically as souvenirs.

How an object is used at home does not need to match its original purpose. A basket can hold textiles, become a planter or simply stand on a shelf. A woven tray can move to the wall. A traditional stool can become a bedside table.

Giving existing objects new roles creates interiors that develop gradually. Each piece has a function, a material identity and potentially a connection to a place, instead of being selected simply to fill an empty space.
