Design of small things matters 
Searching for the object was also interesting because I went to a new place of vintage things right in the centre of Porto. My object is Rolls Razor which was produced in the 20s in England. It’s very glance and unique and not obvious in using at all. In the beginning, I had to divide my research into parts, I was really interested in domestic life at this time and it was quite interesting to know that that time has pros and cons, that was the industrial revolution that for sure changed the quality of living, and crazy time of investing things that are nowadays are our usual surroundings like a vacuum cleaner, TV, the Band-Aid and others.
