FLOWERS FOR SLOVAKIA : Lost and Found edition : project McTatra (2013)
Flowers for Slovakia is an exceptional project for exceptional students. Lost & Found is an original set of furniture and interior accessories. The basic creative process of the selected students this time was linking the traditional Slovak folk furniture types with unmistakable aesthetic of Vitra elements.
McTATRA by Martyn Žabka :
Bowl – vahan served for food preparation, carrying flour, shaping the dough or as a container for food since time out of mind. Chairs exerted paradoxically in folk dwellings rather late – only late in the 20s of the 20th century they are a common inventory of traditional dwellings.Combining of more than 80-year-old Vahan coming from the Podpoľanie region and slightly younger chairs tableware set titled McTatra originated. Family dining is now reduced to a quick dinner in pairs or even alone. The object reflects the contrast of our over-busy reality, to rituals of worship of the self-grown food.
