knoend



We went to this show where the designers made products that had incorporated recycling and life cycle of the material directly into the design itself.


Some cool things were things like...


A hanging light where the packaging of the light fixcture was a major part of the light itself.


A Carlo Rossi jug that had been cut and became a light stand for a low to the ground light fixture.


A bio-degradeable flower vase that looked more like a flower pot.


It seemed like they put a lof of thought into the material themselvs, as well as into the design. It's really cool. I would really like to do something that they are doing... The whole idea of recycled plasstic bottle T-shirts are just a whole lot of fun. This is also an ideal way to work... which seems like it's mostly play.


I think that some things could become a little bit more streamlined. The designs could go for another couple rounds of iterations and I think it would be great.
