Recycle study.

How can the importance of circular thinking be represented? Creating a new application to ensure even the smallest scraps of any material do not end up in the trash.

Gispen is a manufactures of design furniture. They want to create optimum environments that have a positive influence on people through inspiring, sustainably designed products and spaces.

The qoncept.

A process of material research and experiments to discover new applications. Working with materials like foam, diverse fabrics, paper, wood, plastic, and fake leather. Trough storytelling and the use of different technologies, the materials demonstrate their new value. Narrate a story trough their new weight, textures, and shapes.

Using techniques such as sewing, (bio) gluing, hardening, heating, and weaving to promote the unseen value of trashed resources.

This study was presented during Expedition Circular 2019, Gispen's annual event about circularity. In order to network during the event, I handed out scraps of “waste” with my information stamped on. Like shipping labels, pieces of fabric, cardboard and foam.
