The idea behind this material experiment is to use local, natural (waste) materials from the region around Lasa. The idea was to create new combinations from precisely very iconic South Tyrolean resources. The starting point was Lasa marble, which was combined with apples, and chestnuts.

The do-it-yourself idea also played an important role – what materials can be created without additional products if possible. In many DIY recipes, glycerine, gelatine, starch or agar-agar are added, which have to be purchased additionally and are not produced locally, although they could be or could be subsidised with local resources.
