This vase and fruit bowl by Postfossil from 2009 are inspired by a mirrored silhouette. Doubleface’s outline determines the form of the collection, a fruit bowl and a vase. Both objects are made of ceramic and cherry wood.
The objects’ form plays with symmetrical lines as well as natural complementary structures. However, at the same time, the bodies are separated in terms of material and function. The objects are versatile: the bottom of the fruit bowl can be used as chopping board. Design details always have a function: the groove that serves as a guide when assembling the bowl catches the fruit’s juice. Doubleface is a highly practical set with modest demands and the objective to enrich daily life with beauty and practicality.
Postfossil, a collective of ten Swiss designers founded in 2007, aim to craft objects designed for everyday living in a not-so-distant future. In an age of increased reliance on carbon emitting technology and a rapidly depleting natural resource pool, Postfossil address the question – How will we live in a post-fossil fuel age? Their objects are intended to encourage everyone to reconsider their own behavior and to be more responsible for their actions.
