‘Fossilized Future’ by Japanese Designer So Koizumi was an exhibition I visited at Alcova Milano earlier this year. Where he presented new furniture pieces born from imagining the fossilized form of the future.
By viewing fossils not as relics of the past but as metaphors linking the past and future, he considers that things created in the present will eventually shape the future. Therefore, these furniture works are made from materials generated in our contemporary dailylife, such as wood from nearby forests felled due to oak wilt disease and soil-like materials found in the surrounding area.
