During a digital aperitivo, in the context of this sad, odd, yet interesting Covid-19 first confinement, we (CENTRAL, Maxime Delvaux and UR) discussed our actual condition as architects.

We noticed the rise of a general frustration when the design as well as the collaborative and building processes are slowed down or stopped. This discussion was followed by one on our objects of fascination and the possibility to explore them during this particular moment.

An opportunity not only considered as ‘food for thought’ but also as a possible physical outcome; personal, direct and cultural. As a consequence, we decided to give a collective path to our discussions: a collaborative furniture project called ‘Objects of Fascination’.
