Abiogenesis is a revolutionary NFT project designed for the Italian furniture brand Cappellini in collaboration with Istituto Marangoni Milano Design.
The primary objective of this project is to imbue the digital realm, specifically the non-fungible token space, with the essence of life, time, and matter. The design of this unique creation draws inspiration from the concept of abiogenesis, which explores the origin of life, and manifests it in its form. Moreover, this creation evolves over time, making it a dynamic and living entity.
As a result, if you acquire the Abiogenesis NFT and hold onto it for a year, you will be presented with an entirely transformed work of art. This innovative and progressive feature sets this project apart from traditional static artworks, providing a novel and immersive experience for art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
