Erosion, 2007

Created using natural processes, the Erosion range is first cast into simple geometric shapes and then naturally eroded into semi-organic objects. By allowing the material to dictate the form, and by embracing the imperfections embodied in the process, the designers have relinquished full control over the final product.

By celebrating and embedding flaws into their designs, Lohmann and Grundmann challenge the ideal of the perfect product and in so doing aim to mirror the transience of man-made structures in nature and question the impermanence of the mass-manufactured objects we choose to surround ourselves with, ultimately creating objects that will be cherished for years and have lasting meaning.
