Texture, Feeling, Technology

In an otherwise minimalist ryokan, the TV remote stands out both for its complexity, that by default that complexity is not hidden or disguised. It is an accepted and acceptable piece of high technology. Below, a fixed line telephone from the same hotel covered by a cloth, hiding both the object and perhaps lending some of the cloth's textural properties to the object itself.

Diametrically related - the elevation of the telephone in this Delhi home.
