Amass studies ordinary objects and industrial chains to find possibilities in what is normally corrected or concealed.
Mould, joint, repetition and tolerance appear as formal decisions. The object explains how it was made and lets the user recognise part of the process.
The approach avoids opposing craft and industry. A machine can repeat precisely; design decides which variation carries meaning and where finish stops adding value.
For interiors and products, that reading can reduce unnecessary layers. Showing a resolved joint avoids materials used only to hide it.

The lesson is that circularity and repair begin when a piece reveals how it is joined.
Why does seeing how an object was made matter?
Because legible construction is easier to value, dismantle and repair. Hiding every junction creates clean surfaces, but also objects whose maintenance depends on replacing them whole.
