Slow Design: Soulful Handmade Goods from Dora Daar

Table of Contents

We initial took note of Barcelona-primarily based design and style studio/innovative agency Dora Daar when we stumbled upon their Oráculo Carpet, a round woven rug that wraps all-around the foundation of a tree. It was developed by founders and most effective close friends Nat Sly and Pepi de Boissieu right after a trip to Senegal, wherever it’s typical to see family members collect underneath the shade of a tree. “[It] was their position of reunion,” they say. “Under the canopy of the trees, daily dramas and moving adore tales were played out.”

This focus to the poetry in human-created objects is obvious in all the products they’ve curated for their on the net retail store. The selection is spare—just 23 goods and 3 workshops (just one on how to create altars, a different on astrology, and a 3rd on meditative drawing)—but every single point feels regarded as and well-produced (the two collaborate with artisans, who execute their concepts).

From their internet site: “We goal for and deeply feel in altering the way we produce and eat. All of our tasks are locally sourced and sustainable. We are engaged with the human beings that manufacture each of our items and consequently dedicated to reasonable trade. We feel that this is the new luxurious, one that is made honestly, honestly, with authentic time and imagined place into just about every challenge.”
