Rock Star

摘要

IN HIS NATIVE MELBOURNE, industrial designer Christopher Boots grew up hunting rocks. His favorite find? Quartz. These days, hunks of the common crystal join a sprinkling of lapis lazuli in the Aussie's first room divider. "I like to get my hands dirty," says Boots, who cast the celestial screen in bronze using a lost-wax method to leave hand marks and a surface-of-the-moon texture on the limited edition of eight. Of his innate draw to minerals, the designer says: "I do believe in their healing power. We would probably improve as a species if we had more elements of nature in our interiors."
