What Qualifies as an Object

On this platform, an object is a made item intended for repeated use and produced through a stable, repeatable making process.

Qualification is based on function, durability, and production continuity. Objects are assessed as items that enter daily life.

Items produced primarily for novelty, tourism, or one-time exhibition do not qualify. One-off works without a repeatable production method are not included.

An object must demonstrate a clear relationship between material, technique, and intended use. Form is evaluated as the outcome of constraint and process.

Craft skill is necessary. Qualification also requires the ability to produce the object again under consistent standards over time. Where continuity cannot be maintained, inclusion does not occur.

Qualification does not depend on trend relevance, aesthetic preference, or market demand. Decisions are applied against defined criteria.

Not all well-made items fall within the scope of this system. Exclusion reflects defined boundaries.

The term “object” is used here as a functional designation.
