For my catalogue, I decided to approach the 3dsky archive and first explore what sort of idems exist inside. I was pleasantly surprised to discover just how much furniture is stored inside which promped me to want to explore the sort of items made available.
A big part of my cataloguing was based on my own perception of wealth and of aesthetics as well as my perception of life experiences and the general enviorment of them. This included places I have been to before, I have seen but also places I imagined would capture these items.
This evolved into me experimenting with diffrent categories:
Feminine and Masculine; Kiki and Bouba; Neutral and Colour
Only one of these categories relied on actualy physical characteristics of the chairs, wheres the other two are based on my perceptions of both femininity/masulinity and of the non-arbrital assignment of names to items based on instict.
Taking these experiments I realised that I found cataloguing based on my own outlook and experience in life. Which brought me to creating a mini-catalogue with the aid of a few of my friends with similar life experiences, this catalogue aimed to create a strictly transient catalogue of sofas, organised off their visual characteristics and how we associate them with diffrent choices of lifestyle and social standing.
While as a prototype this brings fowards an interesting idea, it was brought to me in my feedback that it would be best to attempt to rely less on the text to enforce my commentary and think through on how I could develop this idea and expand upon my perception of wealth and social standing.
