Part One:
Things that surround us
The sum of all the things we surround ourselves with is more than just a sum. It’s us. Our stuff. Every new acquisition is a new piece of the puzzle, the chaotic mosaic of our lives. A waffle iron, a couch, a skateboard, a chair, my favorite green sweater, a hot water bottle, and that bronze coat rack I bought three years ago. Some pieces are charged with memories, some make us feel special, some make us look good, and all of them are our quiet confidantes.
So at DANTE, our filter is this: create that connection. Create objects that are not merely things, but favorites. Talismans. Products that are not necessarily practical, useful, efficient, but rather, emotional.
something that gives us a goal
something that helps us survive
something that stands alone
something to escape reality
something to hang around
something that sets the pace
something to make us happy
something to whistle along
something that creates realities
something that does it really fast
something that tells us we’re even
something to accelerate
something to pass the time
something to guide us in the dark
