“NATURE—COOPER HEWITT DESIGN TRIENNIAL” WILL EXPLORE DESIGN’S ABILITY TO ADDRESS CRITICAL ISSUES SURROUNDING NATURE, CLIMATE AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Vermont based CoolSnowGlobes has collaborated with One Beach Plastic in California, to create a series of limited edition snowglobes. Each interior contains a unique sculpture constructed from pieces of discarded plastic found on a beach in Northern California. The collection consists of 60 individual pieces arranged in groups of 10, based on the six colors of the color wheel. 

"The 2019 Triennial will confront humanity’s biggest challenge yet—climate change—and asks all of us to reevaluate our relationship with nature. Opening the Triennial simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic will amplify that message and paves the way for leaders and communities from all sectors to engage with design in this important dialogue.”

The globes retail for $125 and may be purchased at the SHOP Cooper-Hewitt.
