The object you reach for without looking.
There is probably a mug in your kitchen that wins every morning. It may not match anything. Its graphic may have outlived the joke. Still, your hand finds it.
That is where this archive begins: with the gap between an ordinary object and a particular attachment.
New in the archive: seeing through the ritual.
The latest entries include Luminarc's Stackable Clear Mug and Nuevo Clear Mug. Transparent glass gives the everyday drink a different frame: the coffee itself becomes part of the object.
A department for the unexpected.
A Wile E Coyote head mug and a pair of Hershey's Pip mugs have joined the Strange Department. These are objects with recognisable references and very little interest in disappearing into a cupboard.
