"No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central roll in the history of the world, normally without realising." This is a sentence from The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Everyone unconsciously lives their daily routine life, but most of them have no idea how much they contribute to the world and our society . It is not possible to judge which work is more crucial or not, furthermore not necessary. Since all we create is meaningful to our history, we are all alchemists of the modern world. From this we explored some daily stationary objects inspired by alchemist's inventories.
