The present text is a way of looking to two spaces: The old New Yorker workshop where Andy Warhol invented the pop between 1963 and 1969, The Factory, and the series of collages drawn by the radical Italian architects Superstudio in 1971 under the title Supersurface, presented afterwards as part of the 1972 MoMa Exhibition: The New Domestic Landscape´s catalogue. The given look is focused on the observation of the objects within both spaces. Pieces of furniture or simply belongings, the objects are understood along the article as the generative aspects of these two spaces, representative both of them of the American and European counter-cultural way of thinking from the sixties to the early seventies.
