“Marbled Salts” Dining Table
-
Description
In ancient times, salt was rare and costly. Yet, since the industrial revolution, it has become so cheap and easily available that we no longer recognise its value. With “Marbled Salts”, Roxane Lahidji explores new possibilities, reinventing salt as a sustainable design material. She has made use of its unique physical properties as a self-binding composite to create a set of tables and stools. By mixing it with tree resin, she gives it shape and strength. Coal powder and the natural colour variations in salt mimic the aesthetics of expensive natural stones such as marble. Herein, she draws a contradictory parallel between the flexible versatility of salt and the material language of heavy and solid rock.
Roxane Lahidji is a designer and artist specialised in material developments and applications. Her research focuses on conciliating sculptural productions with sustainability. Roxane was born in Paris in 1992 and grew up in the french capitale before studying illustration and product design in Strasbourg (HEAR).After graduating from the Social Design department of Design Academy Eindhoven in 2017, Roxane Lahidji developed her project ‘’Marbled salts’’ and was awarded among the 100 best French international designers with the FD100 price both in 2019 and 2021, and also won the 2019 Bolia award.
