To explore the power of light and study how objects are migratory entities, the students of San Diego State University's Furniture Design Program plan an exhibition that they call "Cabinets of Curiosity". The idea comes from the classic "Wunderkammer", a room filled with an encyclopedic collection of wildly various curiosities from all corners of the world. This particular Sideshow Tent will contain actual cabinets, sideboards, highboys, and chests of drawers, all reclaimed from the streets of San Diego. The cubbies and drawers of each case piece will house everything from light installations to original, student-created objects, to full-on design fetishes. At the end of the ICFF, the students plan to donate the furniture to New York City thrift stores, so that it can continue to change hands and homes, leaving traces of San Diego in NYC.
