Distilling alcohol without a license is illegal in most countries in the world. However, many countries allow for the non-commercial brewing of a limited quantity of beer, wine, and mead in a process commonly known as homebrewing. While homebrewing is a hobby for many people across the globe, it is primarily carried out by poor people in developing nations as a cheap alternative to buying commercial alcohol, not to mention it is often stronger.
I wanted to redesign a Tool with a long tradition, and use copper not for a decoration purpose but for its inner quality. This material has always been used for the construction of stills since ancient times. With the evolution of time and technologies new materials have been introduced such as stainless steel. However, old Europe will by no means exchange their copper stills.
Because of its legislative issue, the Prohibition kit is deliberately a provocative project. I want to question the people about the value and purpose of everyday products surrounding us. I propose another point of view to observe them. When are innocent products becoming illegal? What can those products do for us, or what do they do to us?
The Prohibition kit is composed of 4 fully functional products, that you can find in almost every dwelling:
1 / watering can 2 / fondue stove 3 / cooking pot 4 / fruit bowl.
But once those four products are plugged together, you create your own still (Alcohol distiller) to produce your own homemade schnaps. This kit is a "Camouflage kit", all parts can be used during schnaps production process, but are also fully functional for their normal (legal) use...
