Does it feel better to move into a home in which your previous tenant had been living for 40 years? Or do you prefer the newly refurbished, ground finish-style white cube? Do you want to find the traces of a previous life and paint them over, or do you ask others to perform this violent task?
If you leave dents in the rented carpet, do you remove them with the ice cube trick or don’t you care what the next humans in here will think about the order of your furniture? You didn’t have a TV that determined the orientation of your couches, can your successor see you’d been sitting in thonet chairs?
Will it be a effort to imprint your next life into the next carpet?
