Figure 8. Home size
and visible products
Although a home is not just a container for stuff, it is a container nonetheless.
People have lots of products in their homes. To get a rough idea
of the sample, I counted the visible products in the photographs after the first
round of interviews in 2004 and then calculated an average based on a very
rough estimation of each apartment’s size. The resulting amounts are small
because, for example, I did not count books, only the bookcase, as one item,
and a set of curtains as just one item, focusing on the kinds of “functional
designed products” that came up in the interviews. The results are presented
in Figure 8.
