Loev is made out of an experimental material, combining recycled cork, silicone rubber and pigments. The design is full of contrasts, not only in the material but also the shape. The material is cast in a mould, the untrimmed imperfections from the mould provide an exciting element. It looks hard and cold, but this is another trick, it is flexible, warm and soft to touch.
