tranSglass by Tord Boontje + Emma Woffenden @ Artecnica.
If you’re in New York City this week and you love unique gift ideas and eco.friendly design accessories, you should check out the Design With Conscience exhibit by L.A.’s Artecnica at the New York International Gift Fair.
You will not be disappointed with the vast array of original pieces on display. Artecnica’s philosophy? “Design With Conscience projects employ production methods that are human and environmentally friendly. We denounce child labor, promote safe, toxic-free environments, and use purchasing criteria that prevent labor and environmental exploitation. Our vision is to promote self-sustaining communities of skilled artisans in underdeveloped countries.”
Featured at the Design With Conscience Exhibit is the tranSglass collection by Dutch Designer extraordinaire Tord Boontje and his wife Emma Woffenden. These sleek designs are completely made from recycled glass bottles and are expertly handcrafted by artisans in Guatemala, making each piece unique. I appreciate the merging of old world craftsmanship with sophisticated design. A highly successful pairing with this stylish series.
