What Unseend stands for

Three things we hold to.

As it is.Photographed in Rotterdam, in daylight, as it is. Every photograph on this page is of this exact piece.
Working.Nothing goes up that does not work as it should. Anything worth knowing is written on the object’s own page, in plain words.
Kept.Where an object comes from stays with it: who kept it, for how long, and why they let it go. Their words, not ours.

Or come at it by time

Sixty years of objects, and not one of them still made.

Every mark is a single object, standing where the year it was made falls inside its decade. Stand one decade beside another and the shop explains itself.

Straps, caps, posters and bags, made here in Rotterdam for the things we sell. The one register where the object is new and the standard is the same: made to be used.

Where these have been

11 people · the map

Nothing here arrived anonymously. Every object carries the name of the person who kept it, the years they had it, and why they let it go. Their words, not ours.

Thursday at eight

New objects once a week, and nothing else.

One email when the new objects go up. No offers, no reminders, one click to stop.

Saying yes here is only about this email. It makes no account, and nothing else is ever sent to it.

1 object has found a new owner. They keep their page, and the month they went.

Pass it on

Fifty years in a cabinet, and somewhere for it to go.

If you have a collection you no longer use, it can stay together, keep your name, and go to people who will use it.
