Everything Kerstin passed on

Who kept it

Kerstin, Berlin · Germany

Kerstin's desk

TEST DATA. Seven desk objects, all of them used daily for forty years.
If it stops working I have it repaired. That is the whole method.
In Kerstin’s own wordsOpens here

TEST DATA. Kerstin is an architect and her desk has not changed since 1981, apart from the computer, which she resents.

Everything on it was bought to be used and every one of them still is. Nothing was ever bought to look at.
