Can products, like people, fertilise each other and grow into something new? Amba Molly has designed a system of moulds based on human cell division. She started with four products that came from two worlds; the industrial and the traditional world. A plastic bottle merged with an oil jar and a Tupperware pitcher connected with a hand-turned earthenware water jug. By dividing her moulds systematically, Amba has created sixty building blocks that can be stacked to form new products time and again. During four stages of mitosis the products will keep on blending, creating a new family called Mitose with a new DNA along the way. SM’s - Stedelijk Museum ‘s-Hertogenbosch / NL

Once we needed nothing besides nature to survive; now we use more products than ever before to make our daily lives more comfortable. We cannot even really imagine our lives without clothes, furniture, electronics, and toiletries. Amba Molly wondered if the human body could function as a carrier for these goods, taking inspiration from nomadic tribes who take their homes with them as they move from one place to the next. By using a chair, ceramics, and a coat, she has visualised in Symbiose the changes to the human silhouette if man and his commodities were to merge.
