Part II of the sustainable choice wish list
Sustainability, the word that can not be avoided even if you wished it so. It is a heated topic across the design spectrum. From architecture right across to packaging. If companies wish to survive they must embrace economic impact or face being dismissed by the public. The 'new normal' can be a force for positive change, and part of that is trust and clarity from brands. Now more than ever people want to feel like they are doing their bit to secure a safer future.
Introducing, the movers and shakers determined for change in a market saturated with fast turn overs and vast supply chains. As always, click on the images for the respective websites.
Audrey Louise Reynolds
"Audrey Louise Reynolds uses right and left-brained instincts to create her dyes. All-natural ingredients, foraged and sourced from daily life, travels, and unexpected encounters. Everything from minerals, seaweed, squid ink, coral, shells, plankton, flowers, earth, can find its way into her boiling pot. But it's not a willy-nilly pinch-o-this-dash-o-that tizzy. No, it's science-based hypothesis that leads to trial and error experimentation, that leads to a give and take, adding and extracting and cooking and recording and sweating, to make these dyes and perfect these techniques. Yes, there's a free-form style she incorporates into any individual product, but it's only through a thorough examination of her material and its intended use that she's able to set the parameters for color. Each piece is hand-made and unique."
Sophie Sellu - Grain and Knot
"Grain and knot was born from a love of nature, exploration and the need for purpose in creation. It is beautifully tactile, fully functional wooden kitchenware, with each item made from reclaimed timber."
Sofía Sanchez de Betak for MANGO
