SOIL

Soil create a range of products using a base of naturally occurring gypsum; a soft sulphate that is imbibed with minerals filtered and purified beneath the surface of the Earth. By using a gypsum base, the designers at Soil are afforded the perfect medium with which to craft unique, minimalistic products that are benefitted by the material’s specific properties. The resulting products feel perfectly suited to the modern home, whether in the bathroom, kitchen or living space.

These desirable qualities are maintained as a result of the rigorous manufacturing process undertaken by the raw gypsum. This process helps to preserve the particularly valuable mineral-rich water absorbed by the gypsum, often found only in rare underground cave systems, which gives the products made by Soil their unique characteristics. Once processed, the gypsum is taken by Soil, used as a base and then shaped using ceramic moulds. These moulds are left to bake in the sunlight, eschewing other oven-based baking methods. By investing the additional time required to bake the moulds using sunlight, the resulting products are of a significantly higher quality than if they had been oven baked.

Soil products have a wide variety of uses. Their hydrophilic property can absorb water from foodstuffs, wet surfaces or from your body when you step out of the shower. In this way, Soil products can be used throughout the home and transform mundane, everyday tasks into sublimely detailed and interesting experiences.    



SOIL


Los productos de Soil, son artículos hechos a base de un yeso natural que se obtiene en ciertas partes de la tierra, donde los minerales son filtrados y purificados. Usando este material los diseñadores japoneses de Soil, crearon diseños únicos y minimalistas que gozan de cualidades únicas. Piezas que puedes usar en el baño, la cocina entre otros.

Este yeso natural debido a su proceso de manufactura mantiene la cualidad de filtración y absorción de líquidos y minerales, que ofrece una característica única en objetos que usamos en nuestro día a día. Usando moldes, todas las piezas que producen son hechas a mano y puestas a secar por medio del sol, sin usar ningún horneado. Debido a esto cada diseño es de alta calidad.

Así pues, estos productos tienen distintas funciones desde cómo reducir la humedad de los alimentos, hasta secarte los pies después de salir de la bañera. Aquellos detalles de nuestro diario vivir que se han vuelto insignificantes, pero con Soil agregan una nueva experiencia única e inigualable.
