BRIEF:
Transform the purpose into a resource, demonstrating that it is possible to produce a varied and functional furniture collection without cutting down any trees. By relying on craftsmanship and local products, it seeks a sustainable alternative to objects made with impacting processes.The design challenge is to study the properties of the material to make the best use of it.
OUTCOME:
A line of green furniture able to integrate waste and resources generated by companies and local crops, combining them with WOOD, the undisputed protagonist of the workshops of Laboratorio Linfa. The workshop allowed each participant to expand their knowledge, their network, create synergies with local companies, and spread the values of self-produced design and participatory design.
MATERIALS per kilometre available to designers: WOOD pallet, window frames, old furniture, carpentry/pruning waste, in trunks and branches;
HEMP fiber, ropes, stems, fabric, and sheets.
