Doreen Westphal is a designer of East-German origin whose work has a distinct focus on sustainability and the repurposing of materials to create unusual and playful objects.
With the Fossilize collection Westphal invites us to think about the changes we make to the world we live in and which of those changes we should keep and which we should just leave behind and fossilize.
Using concrete, a material that uses 50 times less energy than conventional ceramic, Westphal covered everyday objects in an attempt to create an everlasting memory of a world we are leaving behind.
