On invitation of supercyclers, Postfossil is part of the launch exhibition at 19 Greek St. Gallery House during the London Design Festival. 19 greek st is a 6 storey Soho terrace which focus on an exciting international range of socially responsible design.
Brand new and now available in our Shop! «Cagnotte» is a money box whose shape is modelled on that of an acorn. Coins are inserted through the slit on the underside. The wooden shell closes the opening and gives the acorn a stable stand.
Saving doesn't mean sacrifice; it's a challenge to ration available resources in a sensible way. To get to the savings, the acorn must be smashed, but only the saver can decide when the time is right.
We are happy to invite you to the group exhibition «Le petit GRAND» during Milan design week. We will present the two new Projects Joule a hanging sculpture and the money box Cagnotte, which both put the spotlight on the reflection of our acting.
The mobile Joule is an object of thoughts on the fragile interrelations within nature, the balance of the economy, and balance in our lives. The fragile dependency of weight and counterweight, the effect of the small on the whole system; in short, cause and effect are played out poetically in this work.
Cagnotte is a money box which shows that saving doesn't mean sacrifice; it's a challenge to ration available resources in a sensible way.

CRITICAL DESIGN / CRITICAL INTERVENTION from postfossil on Vimeo.
Presented during the Milan furniture fair and now available as Edition, «Joule» is a mobile formed by abstract pans jointed together. It expresses the interdependence of different systems and natural balance.
If any weight is applied, or if the mobile is touched, it will move briefly until it rights itself again and finds a new balance. The work is an object of reflection on the fragile interrelations within nature, the balance of the economy, and balance in our lives.
Postfossil wins the golden rabbit in the category Design at «die Besten 2012»!
«Their formally convincing and often surprising drafts, transform the consumer into a participant...», reasons the jury.
