Overview

FOR Design Studio is an ethical prototyping an design shop in Timișoara creating objects infused by purpoce, soul, longevity and ethical materials and the makers of the tea & espresso cups we have at the campus. Inspired by their strive to bring clay and innovation together and inspired by our everyday missions to capture wildlife tracks in plaster, we're prototyping a coffee mug embossed with the real tracks casts in actual size. We're making these first items just in time for Christmas. Your purchase of these prototype mugs and your feedback, once you use them is vital, for our bigger dream to bring contemporary pottery and wildlife tracking together at your table. We hope to grow this range to feature more wildlife including "stars" like bears, wolves and of course, bison! Through this venture we aim to bring together local trackers who are already recording wildlife tracks as proof of life, with designers and product that this wildlife's stories further into people's homes and day to day life. The vision for this collection is to pay tribute to the wildlife that surrounds us,

Tracking team

Tracking team

The Art of Tracking may well be the origin of science. Our local and global team are part of this ancient guild and practice here, the Cybertracker international standard. After hundreds of thousands of years, traditional tracking skills may soon be lost. Yet tracking can be developed into a new science with far-reaching implications for indigenous communities, citizen science and nature conservation.
