Marie Le Fort, Les Echos, January 17, 2014
"Borrowing from timeless botanical language, designers explore new methods for creating objects in organic forms", observes Marie Le Fort in her article for Les Echos Weekend. As examples of this trend towards the vegetal in design, Le Fort highlights 'Botanica' by Formafantasma and the 'Wooden Vase' series by Peter Marigold. 'Botanica' was recently acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of its permanent collection, and the 'Wooden Vase' series has been exhibited by Gallery Libby Sellers at Design Miami/Basel 2013.
