During my stay in ADD Lab I have created a collection of 40 talismans. The Talismans are remedies, ideas and energies that we can connect with, that can help us develop ourselves.

“During my stay here in ADD Lab I have created a collection of 40 talismans produced with the technology of 3D printing and then cast in bronze by Kalevala Koru. This Primitiva collection is inspired by the mathematical beauty of biological forms and it’s based on self-replicating patterns that can be found in nature. All the talismans are divided into four categories that I call Kingdoms. These Kingdoms represent us as humans. To me we are all mixtures of Seekers, Doers, Connectors, or Visionaries. The Talismans are remedies, ideas and energies that we can connect with, that can help us develop ourselves.”
