A pillow filled with dry posidonia leaves collected at the shore of Adriatic Sea.
A pillow filled with dry posidonia leaves collected at the shore of Adriatic Sea.
Due to its complex structure caused by metabolic processes in the sea and a large share of salt, sea weed has exstraordinary thermal and sound insulation processes, it is resistant to mildew and rotting, and is almost inflammable. The fallen leaves are carried to the shore by waves and sea currents,
and dried by the sunshine and wind. In this way nature itself serves us with this unjustly neglected, and yet a premium quality permanent material used by our ancestors for a reason.
