The waiting nail

When moving into a new house or when renovating your existing home, you find traces of previous occupants, decorations or the building process. Through these traces you communicate with the house and its history. You can make use of the existing drill holes and use them to hang your paintings or towel rack. Some drill holes may disappear, others stay visible. This nail is for those traces you don’t want to erase, but for which you also don’t have a new purpose. It will patiently await any new function whilst honoring and decorating the historic trace and story of the house.
