The Modern Fossil

Dirk van der Kooij’s signature room is an ode to the end of an era of CDs and records. The room's centerpieces are two conference tables, constructed from obsolete compact disks and records.Look closer and you'll read the scribbles and images of their original content. You may not think about it much, but CDs are some of the most difficult recyclables from the 2000s. Dirk van der Kooij found a way to reuse them by making them into a tabletop of, what he calls, Modern Fossils.
