The Nebulae
is an exercise in Speculative Design. A narrative set in a world doomed by very real problems, extreme ideologies, and comical egos. A pot on the verge of boiling over.
The results of this exercise are a short film, different wearable objects, and a zine.

The Nebulae are an environmental political organization. They are classified as far-left and have strong ties with the Antifa movement in Northern Europe. Focusing heavily on direct action to avoid a climate catastrophe, the group is known for their extreme actions and ecoterrorism.
The Nebulae believe they can genetically prepare their bodies for extreme weather and climate through cold therapy, and an Omega-3 rich diet. Thus they go through extreme lengths to acclimate their bodies, for future offsprings.
We highly recommend reading the zine to gain further insight into the research and thought process of this project. Here is a downloadable link and further down this page is a scrollable non-download alternative.
The shoes and sunglasses where fabricated with digital methods in our studio in Reykjavík.
The shoes are fully functional, 3D printed from Thermoplastic Polyurethane.
The sunglasses are made from PET-G, and the lenses were cut by Gylfi and Anna Þóra in Sjáðu - the leading optician store in Iceland.
