I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
Consumers have been a bit more conscious about the materials that are used in the items that they buy. This also means that product designers, well at least those that love the planet, are also thinking about how they design their items and what kind of materials can be recycled and upcycled. The WA table…
Furniture designers have been exploring recycled materials for years, but the results often look strangely familiar. Reclaimed wood, repurposed metal, and recycled plastic tend to dominate, with the final pieces still rooted in the language of traditional craftsmanship. Even concrete, once an unconventional choice, now feels like part of the standard toolkit for sustainable design,…
Because of the constantly evolving nature of devices and gadgets and all this new technology, there are some things that have become obsolete and reached their end of life cycle. They’ll probably just rot away in garbage fills, unless some smart people can come up with ways to use them for parts or recycle them…
It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but many find the heat of a sauna actually relaxing. Most of these establishments are now found inside modern buildings, but a few try to offer a more rustic and nature-inspired experience with an outdoor sauna. Unsurprisingly, most of these are designed like small wooden cabins to blend…
Think sound absorption/dampening and you automatically think of materials like foam, cardboard, cloth, egg-holder trays. A designer is encouraging us to think outside the box – or rather, outside the ball. Designed by Mathilde Wittock of MWO Design, Soundbounce takes discarded tennis balls and transforms them into a material that’s not just sustainable but visually…
Amidst global concerns of exceeding the Earth’s capacity, upcycling has gained prominence as a solution, driven by conscious consumption and the circular economy’s principles. Upcycling helps reduce the amount of waste that would have made it to the landfills and repurposes items that would have been discarded, giving them a second life without degradation. It…
To most people outside of that community, a skateboard is nothing more than a wooden plank on wheels with sometimes outrageous artwork painted on it. The probably surprising reality is that a great deal of design and engineering goes into making these skateboards to keep them aerodynamic while also light and sturdy. While it’s fine…
Mobile devices, both smartphones and tablets, have become an inescapable fact of modern life to the point that almost everyone has one. While they do empower people with their smart features, they unfortunately also inflict damage on the environment, whether it’s through their manufacturing or, more often than not, their improper disposal. Not all smartphone…
Apple is not a big fan of reusing its products for something else, at least something that is still close to the original function of the design. It probably won’t object to completely unrelated applications of those designs, especially when it’s for a creative and artistic purpose. The non-functional parts of an iPhone, for example,…
Over the past years, we’ve “stanned” brands that not only uses sustainable materials but are also able to upcycle and recycle materials to create new products. We’ve become conscious about how we consume things (well, hopefully, we’ve actually become conscious of it) and how this consumption culture affects this planet we’re living in. Ikea is…
