Postfossil

Design collective Postfossil creates and produces objects for the home, focusing on issues of resources and the post-fossil era. Their mantra, ‘working across borders’ extends across all of their designs with their use of environmentally friendly and renewable sources – although they believe that ‘Fossil’ stands not only for energy sources, but also for social behaviour patterns. This is a trigger for many of their projects such as the ‘Shoes, Books and a Bike’ stand, a piece of sports furniture celebrating the eco-friendly nature and increasing popularity of cycling. In essence, Postfossil’s work is based on three key factors: the first is conducting material research based on an oil-less future. The second is production: Postfossil self-produces all their works, allowing them to both retain the design and manage the production and distribution of their designs. The third factor is engaging with the user and transmitting the Postfossil philosophy. They achieve this through their design works, public discourse and workshops.
