The working room
Useful objects, visible joinery and surfaces shaped by daily work.
RECOVERY RECORD / SOURCE TO SECOND LIFE
Keep the changes visible.
01 / SOURCE CONDITION
03 / SECOND LIFE
01 / RECORD
A modest working room where furniture and light were arranged by use rather than display.
02 / RECOVER
Map the room before clearing it, catalogue useful objects individually and note repairs, wear and working dimensions.
03 / REUSE
A single timber chair anchors a new studio corner, carrying visible use into a setting designed around present-day work.
Useful things, close at hand
A working room gathers objects around tasks. A chair sits where the light is useful; a shelf holds what is reached for every day. This study follows that practical order, with timber, visible joints and modest lighting.
Let use arrange the room
Begin with a place to work and a clear route around it. Add objects when they have a role. The resulting spaces tend to feel less composed for a photograph and more convincing in everyday life.
Collection study 03. This editorial grouping is demonstration content. A real recovery record can use the same space for an inventory, a source story and the decisions made during its next installation.
