Reader Submitted: The Misused: A Collection of Home Objects Inspired by Improvisation

Taiwanese designers Liang-Jung Chen and Shuei-Yuan Yang have designed a collection of homewares called “The Misused”. The design was inspired by how elders in the countryside of Taiwan creatively improvise daily necessities with existing objects. The collection aims to re-fulfill the potentials of everyday metal hardwares by misusing them with a twist of humor.
