Description
Unearthing is a study of the materials that make up our natural world . Hosted by ORCA's founder, Molly Sedlacek.
Each episode is a dialogue between design and the natural world, digging into different methodologies of construction and materiality. We’ll share our best practices and philosophies while learning from experts who approach their craft as a collaboration with nature itself. Join us as we uncover how these raw elements can become both teachers and tools, creating environments that heal, inspire, and reconnect us to our natural rhythms.

A dialogue with Natalie Yon-Eriksson, the founder of Earth + Flax. What started as a return to Natalie's Swedish heritage, turned into her passion for educating people about the health and environmental benefits of traditional finishes for both historic preservation and new construction. We learn about linseed oil, which is derived from flax, and why ‘maintenance free’ just means its future is the land fill. We hope you enjoy our conversation.
