Picta Cor

Howitzweissbach x Aufschnitt Berlin

Old Latin: Picta Cor

German: Painted heart

White linen heart with red and blue traced seam lines and decorated with the characteristic blue and red wooden plates. This work is based on the collection "Seven Ore Mountains" by the design duo Eva Howitz and Frieder Weissbach. This collection is inspired by the Erzgebirge carving tradition, whose characteristic colors are white, blue and red. 

This collectible is unique and was made exclusively for the Berlin Design Week 2022. For the collaboration, the Aufschnitt designer Silvia worked the heart cushion in the berlin Aufschnitt studio from white linen. She was supported in the material research by the design studio 2020untainted. The finished filled heart was then sent to designer Eva Howitz where she hand painted and designed it.

Each heart from this special edition comes with its own authenticity certificate.
