From trash to design.
Experimental architecture and design studio.
Trash Design is our personal experiment, where we resorted to materials, especially those that have already been made for a specific purpose and then forgotten or discarded. Thus, we have come to current topics, which today we call recycling, “upcycling” and reuse. Getting to know the materials did not start in the usual craft way, but with processing, changing usability and new possibilities of use.
We again gave value to discarded objects, and the whole process can be described as an experiment with materials.
Today, we work with a wide range of craftsmen who, are involved in the process of transforming materials into the final product.
Od smeti do dizajna.
Eksperimentalna arhitektura in oblikovalski studio.
Trash Design je naš oseben eksperiment, kjer smo se zatekli nazaj k materialom, predvsem tistimi, ki so bili že izdelani za določen namen in nato pozabljeni oz. zavrženi. Tako smo prispeli do aktualnih tem, ki jim danes pravimo reciklaža, "upcycling" in ponovna uporaba. Spoznavanje materialov se ni začelo po običajni obrtniški poti, pač pa s predelavo, s spreminjanjem uporabnosti in novim možnostim uporabe.
Zavrženim predmetom smo ponovno dali vrednost, celoten proces pa lahko označimo kot eksperiment z materiali.
Danes sodelujemo s širokim naborom obrtnikov, ki se s svojim specialnim znanjem vključujejo v proces spreminjanja materialov v končen izdelek.
