This transformative furniture piece illustrates the inherent duality of displaying and hiding found in storing. The five storing units individually function as a storage piece as well as storage for each other.

The furniture expands or contracts as the living condition of its user changes. It emphasises on the conditioning effect that content and container have on each other, referencing the spaces we live in and the belongings we acquire.

Each unit shows how we keep some of our belongings hidden while other times put on display. This relates to our lives being a never-ending transformation of physical settings.

Stored Storing emerged from and is hinting to standardisation as something that both constitutes and limits our physical surroundings while also being a universal language.

In its materiality it points to inherent narratives to be found in materials. The wood is either reclaimed or scraps from other people's projects have served a purpose before becoming this furniture. The aluminium can be (almost) endlessly recycled meaning it will become something else after being this.
