"objects of combination"

 

A critical examination of the current production process.
The characteristic décor of the "objects of combination" reflects the origin of the product -
a parasitic production process.
Through the effective process design and the incorporation of recycled residual material into the production and design, the concept presents itself as an environmental relief, an alternative to the func-
tional one-dimensionality of consumer products. Thus, the concept combines functional thinking with technical poetry. The product obtains a symbolic character, beyond that of normal functionality. The combined products present themselves as the beginning of a solution and a form of contention with the values of sustainability and responsibility. Hence the combination of products form an expression of ethos.
