A new generation of designers retrace their roots, refine their earth and research their history, sometimes going back to the beginning of time
In the aftermath of the worst financial crisis in decades, a period of glamorous and streamlined design for design's sake comes to an end. Based on that statment, the Design Museum Holon presents Post Fossil, an exhibition curated by Li Edelkoort.
A new generation of designers form and formulate design around natural and sustainable materials, favoring timber,hide, pulp, fibre, earth and fire.
Like contemporary cavemen, they reinvent shelter,redesign tools and manmade machines, and conceptualize archaic rituals for a more modest,content and contained lifestyle.
