Slow Factory is a satellite boutique floating in space. Its timeless aesthetic is sourced from open data images, and the combination of science and design. Founded on August 5, 2012 – the day that the Curiosity rover landed on Mars - their work is inspired by NASA’s open data images of the Earth and of space, taken by satellites and telescopes to create quintessential pieces. Slow Factory re-purposes and re-samples in order to create new meaning. Their designs and products represent the new kind of luxury: the timeless and the temporary built into sustainable essentials that are built to last, made in Italy and New York.

#SlowFactory bridges #science #art and #design as a way to explore a new narrative and raising awareness about the world we live in. We believe that by wrapping yourself with art (yes we consider the scientific images we work with a form of art) we can create a connected reality between hummanity and its habitat: earth and the universe. 👉 In this collaboration with #LePetitPrince and artist @shantell_martin 's drawings on our #RosettaLanding collage inspired by an internet #meme is a #knottyobjects in its own respect. Today we are invited by @themuseumofmodernart + @mitmedialab to their first Design Conference: Knotty Objects unboxing the concepts of affirmative design and critical design. Our story will be soon on our blo:: Stay tuned! 👋 hello! from Boston! (at MIT Media Lab)
