A new vision for old things

Like the saying goes, "there is nothing new under the sun", but that doesn't mean that we can't get a new vision or create a new purpose for something that already exists. Have you ever been on a certain path in life and realize you have come to the end of the trail? You know it's time to head in a new direction, but you're not sure which trail is the best one to take. You're not sure because you can't really see what lies ahead. This is when you need that map so you can envision your new destination.

The combination of old drawers in this new piece of furniture remind me of our lives. We already have different gifts and talents, but sometimes we need to mix them up and put them into a new configuration in order to get to our new destination.

Just like these old drawers, their original design and purpose has come to an end, but instead of being discarded, Franziska Wodicka gathers all different kinds drawers together and gives them a new purpose and a new destination.
