El poudreuse es una tipología de tocador femenina desarrollada en el XVIII, las mujeres colocaban en este mueble todos los enseres relacionados a la toillette femenina como perfumes, peines y aceites. Esta tipología está estrechamente vinculada al lujo, la frivolidad y el espíritu lúdico de la época. El mueble utilizado en esta pieza es una reproducción de alrededor de 1930 realizada por un ebanista inmigrante europeo en Argentina.

Decoding and practicing how to use objects and artifacts is mediated by society at a particular epoch, however, it is also crossed by our own subjectivity which leads us to articulate them in space and to mark them in a particular way.
