Once Was comb

We are so used to some everyday objects that sometimes we don´t realize what´s behind them, where do they came from.

Great part of the exotic wood that is consumed in USA and Europe are illegally imported from developing countries like Brazil.

This comb reminds us of what it once was in the past.

It once was a tree, it once was alive.

The emptiness of its negative form remind us of its original silhouette, which no longer exists.

I truly believe that we can enjoy life in a sustainable way and fortunately, if this comb ever goes to production, it will be made with sustainable certificated wood, so when you ask yourself from where does this wood came, you will know that you are not damaging our planet.

The next time you see a jacket, a shoe, a piece of meat or a car, try to reflect about what it once was in the past and the consequences of consuming it.

Everything has a story....

Ps: We are producing this product in South America, but the license for producing and selling it anywhere else is still available! Drop me a note if you´re interest in producing it.
