Slow Design: Soulful Handmade Goods from Dora Daar

Table of Contents

We 1st took take note of Barcelona-based style studio/creative agency Dora Daar when we stumbled upon their Oráculo Carpet, a circular woven rug that wraps all over the base of a tree. It was developed by founders and best close friends Nat Sly and Pepi de Boissieu soon after a vacation to Senegal, where it is popular to see family members get beneath the shade of a tree. “[It] was their location of reunion,” they say. “Under the canopy of the trees, daily dramas and going really like tales were performed out.”

This focus to the poetry in human-built objects is obvious in all the products and solutions they’ve curated for their online shop. The selection is spare—just 23 items and a few workshops (1 on how to make altars, a different on astrology, and a third on meditative drawing)—but each individual one issue feels deemed and very well-produced (the two collaborate with artisans, who execute their suggestions).

From their web-site: “We aim for and deeply feel in altering the way we produce and take in. All of our assignments are regionally sourced and sustainable. We are engaged with the human beings that manufacture just about every of our merchandise and therefore fully commited to reasonable trade. We imagine that this is the new luxury, a person that is manufactured truthfully, in truth, with serious time and believed set into every job.”
