“It is
the time to bring nature back in our everyday life; not the romanticized, sanitized,
domesticated version of it, but the gritty, wild stuff.”
As part of the world’s
first online - Virtual Design Festival - produced by Dezeen in
the historic rooms of Schloss Hollenegg the upcoming design exhibition
entitled Walden is online May 9-31 and curated by Alice Stori Liechtenstein. The theme Walden is an
emphasis on nature and seclusion which seems to be even more relevant in the
current situation. Many of the projects in the exhibition are self-sufficient
about finding a new approach to doing, making, living.

“I am
interested in the viability of utilizing insects and their waste streams to
create future craft artifacts.”
Marlene Huissoud has collaborated with cc-tapis to produce Swarm a hand-knotted rug inspired by the constant
movement of insects. Born in a family
of beekeepers, Marlene’s passion for insects is reflected in the design of this
rug, her first commercial project. Based on her detailed sketches, the rug
intends to celebrate the importance of insects as their unique presence in the
world is declining and in the past decade alone 40% of insect species in the
world have gone extinct. Swarm is completely hand-knotted by Tibetan artisans. It is made using traditional eco-friendly
production techniques with no dyes, chemicals or acids only un-dyed
Himalayan wool.
