DESIGN OBJECTS, EXPRESSION OF IDENTITY
The concept of thinking reflectively and deliberately forms the basis of critical thinking; terms or concepts such as use, function, formal language, trend, fashion, or style are reasoning that, in the present day, are derived, in some way, of this type of thinking, as perennial design guidelines; And it is this capacity of human beings to reason, and from a more modern perspective, critical thinking understands the action of analyzing and evaluating the consistency of reasoning, especially of those statements that society accepts as true in the context of daily life, such as style patterns in interior design - decoration and architecture, aspects that build an identity, dynamics that are especially relevant today due to their proliferation and rapid viralization of images.
In another instance, there is that ability to reason and understand the world in a particular way, and its ways of living, based on what we experience daily, as life rituals; we have in common acts that unite us as a society or community with a collective memory rooted in traditions and ways of life that translate into precisely a particular daily living.
In consideration of the everyday life in which we are immersed, we want to propose a look at the construction and exaltation of memory that cements identities through the objects we use.
Through an installation of scenes depicting the spaces and atmospheres of habitable interiors, with a purposeful arrangement of objects and furniture, we exhibit the designs and present a proposal of our particular and authentic aesthetic vision, which manages to explore a “critical thinking” that develops new ways of seeing and feeling our particular way of inhabiting; with the aim of achieving an emotional connection with the spaces. The interior atmospheres, the furniture and the objects, that represent and demonstrate the authentic and original way of coexisting and feeling a unique yet cosmopolitan way of experiencing everyday life in Colombia.
This is a special exhibition of scenes of everyday furnishing, which brings together furniture and objects from the different collections made, and its aesthetic is based on an OCHOINFINITO design proposal cataloged as authentic and original, which invokes and calls the critical thinking of the visitor to generate coincidences, similarities, analysis and new visions about the everyday rituals that identify our collective memory.

Creating spaces or areas in the home that encourage different experiences, everyday rituals like having tea or coffee mid-morning or in the afternoon, is also about experiencing interiors with identity and tradition; as was common in our parents' homes or those of our grandparents, the presence of a small table with a couple of chairs, or simply a low table with a beautiful ottoman in the room, fostered the most intimate conversations and gatherings; that little corner for morning coffee or enjoying afternoon tea with friends, or even making the day's calls, is what we want to bring into our contemporary world; in this case, we propose a low table, accompanied by a pair of matching armchairs arranged randomly, since we understand that the space can be complemented with a bench or cushions that energize gatherings at home.

Ottomans are a practical alternative to a small coffee table. With a large tray on top, they create a solid surface for displaying items and supporting your coffee or tea set, as well as decorative objects that enhance the ambiance. Alternatively, you can use the ottoman as extra seating or, with cushions, as a low table. The low table, the armchair and the conical vase carved in wood are a prelude to our next launch, a collection inspired by architecture and its formal development over time in Colombia, which we will call Space, Time | form and place (2025-2026).
