Chrome Bench Vice

This followed on from the recliner chair mechanics, I was looking at value and function and what happens if you challenge the fixed status assigned to objects within society. 




Although the vice is still fully functional, it has become a useless tool because of its now pristine  decorative appearance. The primary quality is its appeal and it look instead of the Job that it was designed to perform. making it full fill emotion, phycological needs or desires.


It is now an object that looks as if it has a function but is no longer for anyones use. It cannot fit into our ordered world of objects that have a place and purpose.
