The Process
THE VESSELS AND LAMPS ARE PRODUCED WITH A BIO-MATERIAL COMPOSED OF 70% FLOUR, 20% AGRICULTURAL WASTE, AND 10% NATURAL LIMESTONE.
THE DIFFERENCES IN THE COLOUR PALETTE ARE OBTAINED BY THE SELECTION OF DISTINCT VEGETABLES, SPICES AND ROOTS THAT ARE DRIED, BOILED OR FILTERED FOR THEIR NATURAL DYES.
EGG IS USED AS A PAINT TO ADD A BRIGHT DETAIL ON THE DRY SURFACE OF THE BOWLS.
IN COOPERATION WITH A CHEMIST STUDIO FORMAFANTASMA REDISCOVER OLD NATURAL TECHNIQUES USED IN THE RENAISSANCE TO LACQUER AND MAKE THE SURFACES OF THE OBJECTS WATER-PROOF.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
Studio Formafantasma is based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands and was started by product designers Andrea Trimarchi and Simone Farresin who met while still at school and collaborated on their masters thesis project at the Design Academy of Eindhoven. Their combined love for classic craftsmanship has lead them to analyze and re-evaluate the relationship between “local cultures and global contexts”, to translating those crafts into industrial processes.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
