FLORA COLLECTION_Marcin Rusak

Published on: 7 years agoAuthor: Teo Sandigliano

Born in 1987 Warsaw, Poland, Marcin is a designer and he works and lives in London; he has a background in both humanities (BA from European Studies from University of Warsaw) and art programmes such as Man and Living at the conceptual Eindhoven Design Academy, Netherlands as well as receiving an MA in Design Products from London’s Royal College of Arts. Recently he had his first solo show at the Contemporary Applied Arts gallery in London.

This collection is the result of two years of material research on natural flowers and resin. The tests led to two materials: Flora Perma, stable and permanent, and Flora Temporaria which evolves and transforms visually over time while maintaining its structural integrity. The contrast between the hard black resin and the colored fragile flowers create an aesthetically pleasant composition. The flowers find a second life after being discarded: once processed and treated they maintain their beauty through the help of resin.
