The collection of 19 pieces includes a clock, lamps, vases, a piggy bank, a bird house and a set of garden gnomes.

The project is on display at Gallery S. Bensimon in Paris from tomorrow as part of an exhibition called Natural Indigo.

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.
