These are objects with enduring appeal, and throughout this issue we see a wistful appreciation for the analogue and pre-digital, underlining the lasting impact of great twentieth century design grounded in modernist principles. This is particularly apparent in the telephone technology discussed by Richard Fryer, the prized cassette tapes from Sarah Feeney, as well as the tactile pleasure of technical drawing pens from Peter Reid. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eElsewhere you will find shopping trolleys, clothing fit for outdoor adventures, LC2 armchairs, exquisite filing systems and ‘80s mountain bikes. For the most part we hone in on household items, though also reflect on unexpected objects looming large in the landscape such as James Reid’s military bunker. OBJECT demonstrates the ongoing legacy and relevance of twentieth century design and material culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAre some of these objects outlandish?
