Streamer: an uncompromising presence

At times, Arno Hoogland feels misunderstood by his environment. To express this complex state of mind, he has designed a safe as a metaphor of himself. ‘The Egoist’ literally anchors itself in the user’s living environment. Serving as a safe as well as a showcase, it protects the owner's most valuable personal possessions.

A personal object that underlines its owner’s personality.
