‘memento’ by hiob haaro 

‘memento’, by london-based designer hiob haaro represents a consideration about the present state of objects, which become widely known and strongly hailed by mass media. design icons are becoming like landmarks in our cultural background, and strike a chord in the viewers, thanks to their peculiar shapes. the main aim of this project is to fuse one of the most famous consumer products with the archetype of souvenirs. moreover, a fundamental question arises: are the scaled versions already souvenirs, as it the case for monuments?
