It is interesting how we can easily be reminded by the past through artifact around us. Sometimes the things around us is not old or even more not from the past, it has been created to remind or represent the past. Why? Is it because we like to be reminded? Is it because people believe that the past is better then present? Perhaps it is just another circle of fashion trend? or may be the designers is out of ideas? Who knows.. In Melbourne, these collection of the past artifacts or artifacts that represent the past, has become a fashion statement in several shop’s interior or chic trend. It is common to see this kind of setting (like the photo above) in most popular cafe. The mix of old and new artifacts surround the environments.. mixed of kitsch and high class emerged.. and became a new type of design, trend and a life style -N
