Waste Study 2

Experimental Project, 2016

This is a continuous research project arising from a spontaneous collection of waste materials that caught the eye. It turned into an active gathering of items that were discarded but hold wonderful potential for transformation into functional creations. The waste materials were carefully sorted by substance, color and texture to define a particular palette. They were then reassembled in order to create a new material with its own DNA, a rich, abstract collage assembled from layers of material pressed by colorful threads and delicately sewn together with an industrial sewing machine.

The first out-of-studio implementation of this design approach took place at the Ramat Hanadiv Visitors’ Pavilion InfoShop. A special collaboration with Ramat Hanadiv’s workers, all details of the inserts, containers, and handles in the InfoShop are made from onsite waste. The studio is currently using this method to create a new series of forms and objects.
