Vaettir: The Dignity of Plants

Vættir is a poetic project that comprises of a collection of products that have been designed specifically for plants, highlighting their personalities and needs.

Each piece in the collection is designed with a specific plant, or type of plant, in mind, looking at creating the perfect vessel and tools that reflect their characteristics. The resulting pieces are a handcrafted collection that seeks to engage people with plants in more meaningful ways.

Scientists believe that as technology continues to advance, that a new future human will evolve. Proposing a concept where technologists become the designers of the future, utilising technology as their design tools, to craft the new future human. Immateriality is the A/W’70’ collection of digital skins, inspired by morphogenesis and mineral crystallisation processes, a series of radical non-human like aesthetics have been fashioned. Providing a digital couture service that is tailored to the consumers needs, by facilitating the re-design and enhancement of the physical human-self, to enable the consumer to embody or become the notion of the perfect human.
