'The Object' first appeared on the cover of Led Zepplin's 'Presence'album in 1976.
A family sit around a table contemplating a black silhouette before them. On the reverse of the album sleeve a scoolteacher is seen using 'The Object' as a teaching aid. Reminiscent of many forms the silhouette appears loaded with symbolic value.
Designed by the now defunct Hypnosis, 'The Object' has been described by its creators as representing 'any object within a community that everyone is perfeclty at home with.' An object without explicit function, Flatpack 001 wish to reveal possible meanings for its existence. We are approaching a number of people to ascribe a 'function' and give meaning to the object.
