    I am obsessed with the chairs with the exaggerated pill-shaped cushions; and the wardrobe where the doors unwrap to create a privacy a screen. So lovely and fun and creative! I'm so grateful for creatives like this encouraging their fellow designers to challenge themselves through the use of repurposed materials, we need a greater culture of reuse and repurposing.

    I LOVE this series, from both a filmmaking and consumer perspective. The storytelling is simple, but engaging and tells a full-circle story. Seeing how "waste" can be turned into something as unique as these furniture pieces and art pieces really makes me wonder what I can do with my "waste". Truly inspiring. Can't wait for the next episode!

    I love this new series. It's a dialogue that needs to be jumpstarted - using design to breathe new life into old, discarded material. I'd like to think it's aligned to your name - as no effort to recycle/upcycle is Never Too Small indeed. Bravo!

    I hope to be having so much fun at this age as these power couple design team! That little workshop/studio is awesome. Love how they addressed that recycled materials are often more costly than, raw new and proven materials. Most folks don’t know that though. The pallet up cycling is nothing new, but I’ve never seen it addressed so thoughtfully as these two have. Very cool and loving this new series on product design

    • @el_micha
      @el_micha 9 місяців тому +1

      Please mind the pallet upcycling projects were on display 2006, almost 20 years ago from now. Even then I'm positive there were other designs being made from discarded pallets. Dutch designers have a brief history with sustainable design. Piet Hein Eek's work is a good start for diving into Dutch design.

    I'm always looking at waste in this way. When I'm cycling paste a skip, or a dumpster, I always stop and have a look. I keep some bungee cords on my bike, just in case I find something I can use.
    Just some input, as a paper based productivity guy, I always cut up scrap paper, junk mail, etc., and use it for writing.

    wow she’s right when she said their studio is where they play. I can see it through the design, so fresh and playful but still functional. I wanna work with them or do smt like this but more in timeless design . So glad she mentioned that recycled material are way more expensive than most use materials ( i would like to know more ab this! why and the solution ideas.)

    • @PH4RX
      @PH4RX Рік тому +4

      Which one of those were functional besides chairs and chairs being turned into… different chairs?
      The animals were cute, but pallet wood is scruffy (and sometimes still treated with pesticides) so not really usable.
      The reveal cabinet was wasting storage space. Nice for a gallery, impractical for normal use.
      The privacy screen wardrobe is a fancy idea but would you really use it on a daily basis?

  • @janinedevilliers510
    @janinedevilliers510 3 години тому

    I agree 100% with the idea.
    I live in Germany at the moment. Once a year, people can put all the furniture and household waste on the pavement outside ones house, for a truck to pick up the 'waste'. This happens once a year.
    The truck crushes the furniture.😢
    I was so upset to see so much great stuff being destroyed.
    I come from a poor country so it seems like such a waste.
    I started collecting things from my neighbourhood to fix and repurpose.
    My German partner who sadly passed away this year thought I was just bringing home junk.
    I am creative, can see potential and what something could be.
    One day, on a waste collection day it was raining.
    I walked around my neighborhood and started picking up things that were thrown out.
    I carried a table and other stuff home in the rain lol. It was a job.
    The table had some rotten legs which just needed a few pieces of wood from the hardware store to fix a fold out garden table. Those small slatted cafe garden tables that are square and fold up. I high pressured washed the grime off the table. Let it dry. sanded it, painted, and replaced the broken pieces with no prior experience of woodwork.
    I still have it.
    It looks great and can be used.
    In Germany, people can also put a box of stuff for free outside.
    I have taken beautiful things for free to reuse.
    So yes, we all need to change how we think.
    To save our planet from waste going to the landfill, so much can be upcycled, repurposed, reused, etc.
    We should have community centers where everyone can bring things. Machines everyone can share. People can help eachother to learn skills in workshops. The elderly also need to get out and do something to keep busy instead of sitting in a lonely room in an old age home which is depressing.
    So much can be done for people of all ages.
    When I went to high school the girls had to do home economics.
    Cooking, sewing, etc.
    The boys did woodwork.
    So we, as girls never learned how to use tools. The education systems need to change to educate everyone equally and include classes like Permaculture.
    How to save seeds, grow food, learn about systems that are easy and sustainable. Everyone can grow somethingon a balcony, on windowsills, in pots, recycled containers, etc. We can grow foid in car parks, parks, library car parks, gardens should include food and not just plants.
    So much can be done. 👍
