Abstract
This study addresses the inter-relationship of objects, self and society. Discussion is based upon original ethnographic information from the photographic documentation of eight living rooms and recorded interviews with their occupants. The main concerns centre on what objects were selected, why they were chosen and the consequences of these selections for the participants.
