We are participating in Melbourne Design Week 2024!
LONGEVITY, by Walter Walter is an exhibition of material research and the crafted vessels resulting from this process. We invite you to interact with and interrogate our experiments, to explore the potentials of the material we come into contact with the most in our daily lives; plastic. We are at a pivotal moment where we need to question consumption alongside endurance. It is time for us to reassess our preconceptions of materials in concert with our relationship to our changing environment. Plastic is a material of infinite potential; strong, mouldable, and adaptable- yet it is still widely considered as cheap and disposable. The vessels on display aim to reframe this biased viewpoint, focusing instead on the materials utility, lifespan and ephemerality. The bio-plastic vessels embody the qualities of our time, in a material of our time, that when used optimistically, can create enhanced everyday experiences which can last for generations
