Six things, five lives each.
Hand-curated tours through everyday objects at five impossible price points. Materials, history, and the absurd line where craft tips into art.
Computer
From garage scrap to lab-grown silicon.
Six decades of computing in five frames — from a hand-soldered breadboard to a one-of-one room-sized supercomputer.
Banana
Fruit, art, and a $6 million joke.
From the bruised supermarket banana to a single piece of fruit that sold for the price of a house.
Wheel
Five wheels separated by 4,500 years.
From a wooden disc that changed civilisation to a single carbon-fibre wheel that costs more than most cars.
Drinking glass
From a plastic cup to a Roman dichroic chalice.
Glass is one of humanity's oldest manufactured materials. Five glasses, 4,500 years apart in craft and intention.
Bottle of water
How H₂O became a million-dollar luxury good.
From the 50¢ corner-shop bottle to a single bottle of glacial water that costs more than most people earn in a year.
Sofa
From a flatpack student couch to museum-grade Mies.
Five sofas, five completely different relationships with comfort, design, and the people who make them.
