Every Bucknell student is very different in many ways but what they will always have in common is that they will have one of these bad boys in their dorm. When I look at a Bucknell Chair I see a mixture of ingenuity and simples. It’s would biased design gives us a that simple classic… Continue reading BUCKNELL CHAIR — Reyes Mendoza

My everyday Object is a computer. To Me the computer is Representative of the great technological achievements man kind has made through time. As i look deeper into the computer i begin to realize that it also represents inequality. Its ability to pull up information on virtually anything that comes to mind is extraordinary. The… Continue reading The Computer Frank Morelli

My everyday item was my set of headphones.  They provide us with the ability to listen to various types of media and entertainment.  Whether it be the creative works of a favorite musical artist, the score to a movie or even hearing the voice of a friend on the other side of their computer screen;… Continue reading Headphones – Josh Lebo

The backpack or rucksack, in its simplest form, is a cloth sack carried on one’s back secured with two straps that go over the shoulders. I have grown to appreciate the practical albeit – in my opinion – not so stylish uses for this particular backpack. Known for its sturdy outdoor gear, Eastern Mountain Sports,… Continue reading All purpose backpack- Jess Tatham

The everyday object I selected was the “rollie-chair” I have at my desk.  While there aren’t a wide array of uses for the chair, there are various aspects of the chair’s makeup that are interesting to examine.  The first would be the wheels on the chair, which indicate that those who produced the chair had… Continue reading Rollie Chair – Kevin Miller

My everyday object is a handmade ceramic mug. While a coffee mug is usually put into the category with someone whose life is high-speed and chaotic, this specific mug has slightly different aura. It is not mass manufactured, nor is it a specific measurement which contrasts what a generic coffee thermos is. The inside glaze… Continue reading Handmade Mug- Deanna Boerstler

  My everyday object is a pen, as well. I believe this simple tool provides more than just a mark on an object but the uniqueness of the person using it. Its functions are vast in that ones imagination determines its usefulness. Whether it is conveying a message on a piece of paper (story, notes,… Continue reading The Pen- Jennifer McCallen

Plastic bags are a pretty common item in every household. They make their way into our homes by holding our recent purchases, notably grocery items. Originally presented as an easy solution, being a convenient way to carry groceries and being inexpensive to make in large quantities, they have now become a problem, being the symbol… Continue reading Everyday object – plastic bag

This here is the common ink pen. While it is not capable of shooting lasers out of its tip, giving its user super strength or the abilit to fly (that would all be really cool), it is still a pretty amazing object. No offense to the pencil of course. The ink pen, however, to me is… Continue reading The Ink Pen-Sam Cowans

My everyday object may not look like something that we would use every day (a miniature shoe…really? what could that be used for?), but past the outward appearance, it serves as a perfectly useful hammer.  Traditionally, a hammer contains a metal head that looks somewhat like an arc and it has a long handle, relative to… Continue reading Shoe Hammer- Justine Schnell

My everyday object is a water bottle. Regardless of its color, size, and shape, it is universally used to store some type of liquid. Consuming liquids is essential to our proper functioning as 75% of our brains are composed of water. As a result, I fill my water bottle with water and try to consume… Continue reading Water Bottle – Gloria Lee

My everyday object is a paper plate.  A plate is something commonly used at meal times and social gatherings.  To me it represents the extremes of individuals in our society who have more than enough food, to those who don’t have enough money to put food on the table.  It represents the oxymoron of saving… Continue reading White Paper Plate- Lindsay Horbatuck

This everyday object is a small notebook.  I use it to jot down important thoughts during the day that I know I won’t remember later on. It’s extremely flexible in terms of use and value. To the world it’s just a stack of papers. For quick notes, math problems, maybe even sheets to throw out… Continue reading The Notebook – Allan Hong

Objects are meaningful.  If one examines an object in a detective-like fashion, one can identify clues which say something about the values, methods, and objectives of the culture which created it. Remember the example that was given in class, and how the plastic trash can speaks volumes about our contemporary society’s consumerist tendencies, our reliance… Continue reading Everyday Object Assignment Instructions
