The amorphly shaped shelf is not only offering storage or presentation space, but stimulates the mechanism of projection and alludes to different faces that can only be recognised at second glance. When a sensory stimulus is offered to our perception, the spirit accepts this piece and completes what is missing. By recognising the faces in the object, the role between subject and object is reversed and the shelf is moved into the position of the observer. Spectator Twins is part of the Spectator Shelf family. It consists of two elements that are interlocking with each other and can be used as a small cabinet or side table.
