Keeping it real. One of the main trends we are seeing, as physical objects increasingly provide a counterpoint to a world turning virtual, is a renewed focus on the art of living well. We might be buying less as we recognise the impact of our consumerism, but we are willing to spend more on items that co-exist with our new ideals; sustainable, lasting objects that provide a rich sensory experience, tactile or otherwise. Above is a 3D printed construction by Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA) and WASP, using an all-natural, recyclable, carbon-neutral material: raw earth. Below are our cold-poured mineral wax candles, utilising the material to form the texture. Read more on this trend, inspired by our recent visit to Paris. |
