Olafur Eliasson and Rimowa create geological luggage stickers for charity
Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has teamed up with premium luggage manufacturer Rimowa to design a collection of 46 suitcase stickers inspired by rocks and lava.
The Collaborating for a Cause project aims to do exactly what it's name says – Eliasson and Rimowa have come together to create a series of luggage stickers, with all proceeds going towards helping the Little Sun Foundation deliver solar energy to the most vulnerable communities around the world.
Founded by Eliasson, the Little Sun Foundation is a non-profit organisation that works to bring high-quality, durable and long-lasting solar products to people who would otherwise not have access to clean energy – according to the World Bank this is around 1.1 billion people. Titled A Collection of Stone, Lava, Meteorite, Ice, Driftwood, and Lichen, the sticker collection draws on Eliasson's colourful artistic language, and takes the form of various organic shapes, meteors and stones as well as ecological terms and words including "anthropocene" and "ecosystem".
"Art helps us identify with one another and expands the notion of 'we' from the local to the global. Our actions have consequences for the world," said Eliasson.
"Little Sun is a wedge that opens up the urgent discussion about bringing sustainable energy to all from the perspective of art in order to raise awareness about the unequal distribution of energy today," he added.
