Some objects remain.
Not because they’re indestructible, but because they evolve with us.
Over time, I’ve learned to tell the difference between objects that age gracefully and those that become obsolete after a few short years. And that difference isn’t always in the materials—it’s in the quality of the thought behind them.
A well-designed object embraces the passage of time.
It accepts scratches, darkens with age, gains polish through use. It changes color, context, function—but it stays.
And when something stays, it doesn’t just become technically sustainable—it becomes part of our personal history.
A chair can travel across three homes, change rooms, change purpose.
A bowl can become a vase.
A fabric can return as a cover, or a memory.
But only if it begins with something real—something worth keeping.
We were raised in a world that taught us to buy quickly and discard even faster.
Now we need the opposite: to slow down our choices, and surround ourselves with things that carry deeper meaning.
When we select an object for Raremood, we don’t just ask, do we like it?
We ask:
Is it something that will last?
Can it be repurposed?
Will it be remembered?
Can it be repaired, retold, revalued—twenty years from now?
Because real sustainability doesn’t start with what ends.
It starts with what begins—and keeps beginning.
