  • Talia Mukmel's ephemeral earth, water, flour, sand and string Terra-cotta containers
    Inspired by the crafts and basic materials used by African tribes, Israeli designer Talia Mukmel created a series of the funky, bumpy containers seen above. Made using knotting techniques like macramé and materials like earth, flour, sand and water, the decorative objects actually look more like bread or mozzarella than home decor. Quirky, biodegradable and ephemeral, Mukmel's innovative "terra-cotta" containers mix old traditions, easily available materials and experimental new techniques.
