deconstruction of an olive
on-going
“Deconstruction of an Olive” is an ongoing material research project exploring olive pomace—the by-product of olive oil production—and its potential for designing objects. Situated in Cartoceto, a small village in the Marche region of Italy, the project aims to propose less extractive design practices by connecting local knowledge, small-scale farms, mills, and research. Local production thrives through family-run businesses, renowned for their high-quality extra-virgin olive oil.
