Our material world is largely determined by the

re/production and consumption of objects. Their physical existence contribute greatly to the

way we inhabit spaces and acquaint ourselves with

the world.

Objects of Delight is an investigation of the pleasure humans

derive from our interactions with the objects that populate

our environment.

Regardless of whether it is a question of aesthetic,

cognitive judgement, functionality, fetishism

or sentiment, in the second issue of STAPLE, we ask — what causes an inanimate thing to give its onlooker, wearer, user, receiver or

creator a sense of gratification?
