Lost & found
connects the old
and the new.

THE MESSAGE

Unique furniture and interior accessories link tradiotional craft with unreplaceable aesthetic of Vitra.

The collection was developed during an intense workshop in Banska Štiavnica in summer 2013. 15 authors of the object were selected from different european design schools.

Benches, stools or even a traditional cradle were carefully reconstructed in order to be reborn as visually attractive and functional design objects. Except old funiture pieces, the collections features traditional handmade working tools, origianally used in textile or food processing and agriculture.

Poetics of folk art and craft is objectified in unique ready-mades, which carry the story of far-back everyday life. Sensitive and intelligent interventions enriched ordinary objects with new meaning, becoming an effective tool of low-barrier storytelling.
