the list does, it reflects how the designed objects are defined and classified in
domestic settings. The classification system acknowledges and comments on
what it is like to live with objects. The points of departure are interior decorations
(what it is like to decorate using this particular object) and domestic
activities (what it is like to work with this particular object). In other words,
the categories usually go hand in hand with the objectification and incorporation
phases of the appropriation process. Most of categories, of course, serve
both aspects because objects are, for example, “absent” from both time (when
they are not being used) and space (when they are not present).
If this Borges-styled categorisation puts objects into their domestic and private
context, by using adjectives and brands people define designs with the aid
of the outside world.
