STORIES
Fragments of travel, records from the field


"The real result of a trip lives in the everyday life you return to" — philosopher Alain de Botton kept asking not "where to go" but "why we travel." Travel isn't about changing places, it's about changing how you see. Even a city you know by heart looks completely different through eyes opened on the road.
What PIECE wants to design is that moment your eyes open — inside the hotel, in a back alley of the city, in the middle of a conversation with someone. The moment travel touches life can be hiding anywhere. What gathers here are records of those moments.
