Carbon date: Designers draw on Swiss folk tradition

The practice is a long-standing Swiss tradition and is also associated with nostalgic ‘happenings’ evocative of folk events, reminiscent of LS:N Global’s Revivalism macro trend.

Olive wood and carbonised oak are paired with the blown glass to form the minimalist vessels. Purified water will be served alongside the exhibition next week, highlighting the mineralising process of the charcoal on the water.

LS:N Global will be reporting from Design Miami/Basel next week, for more coverage keep an eye on our seed and shows section.
