Inspired by old flora illustrations, we have interpreted the Nordic plant 'Lungelav'. The plant has a great resemblance to human lungs alveoli, hence the name. In ancient times, it was considered to be a healing plant for lung diseases. Due to forestry as well as air pollution, the beautiful plant has disappeared from most forests.
