Here's a little text from the designers:


Natural Indigo

The Inspiration for this series of 19 vases, accessories and lights derives from a phenomenon we have noticed in Paris and London.

In the city center a lot of street furniture, like junction boxes, lamp posts and bollards are covered with a extraordinary stucco-like coating.

We instantly liked the visual and haptic quality and later found out, that it was a special anti-fly-poster-coating to prevent people from putting stickers and posters everywhere.

We did some experiments with the coating and transfered it to design.
