How we value Time is underlying of our current ecological crisis. Time is valued as money and therefore we want things realized quickly. We buy look-a-like worn jeans and do it by the masses.
Take some Time to take that in.
Ripped, bleached jeans. We don’t take the Time to appreciate the personal process of the jean being worn in and worn out. The Time it takes to develop a personality becoming a part of your being.
If we perceive Time in a different perspective, we give nature and ourselves the Time for natural processes to occur.
These objects are a format for this new Time. When you feel a day is finished, you pick a seed and release it into nature. You let go. You value your process instead of the Time.
A contrast of an old stone and young seeds form this new type of calendar.
This project was formed during the Deposium (design symposium) in Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia.
![[WONDERLUST]
With our new project [WONDERLUST] for @wiedewold, we aim to offer visitors a fresh perspective on the value of nature. The furniture is crafted from pine wood sourced from Norway spruce trees. In Echtenerzand, a local natural reserve, many trees of this species were felled last winter due to infestation by the bark beetle. This beetle damages the trees by tunneling through the wood, disrupting the tree’s sap flow and causing it to weaken and die. The patterns on the furniture are inspired by the characteristic shapes created by the bark beetle in the wood.
On the table, we showcase different forest finds, things that surprised us with their natural beauty. Do you ever take the time to wonder about these small details while wandering through the forest? In this exhibition, you can observe all these tiny beauties.
By providing a new perspective on the local surroundings, we hope to stimulate a dialogue about the future of the countryside and the role of nature within it.
