Studio Furthermore invites us to imagine new definitions of luxury through its collectable design collection Moon Rock, made from melted aluminium car wheels. In a recent project, Marina Dragomirova and Iain Howlett invite us into a speculative ‘not-too-distant future’ in which lunar mining supplies the raw materials that industry depends on, relieving pressure on Earth’s dwindling resources.
