Up-Cycle
Up-Cycle! features more than 100 up-cycled solutions to design scenarios of every type which completely reinvent a wide array of materials and re-channel their basic qualities into inspired new projects from furniture to outdoor installations to clothing. Projects featured include Australian design studio Lightly's interception of used car tires that turns the tires into lounge chair furniture by crocheting around them in unique and colorful nylon patterns; a reinvention of discarded glass vases, jugs, bowls, and mugs into sculptural chandeliers by Utrecht-based designers Atelier Remy and Veenhuizen; Israeli-based Reddish Studio's reinvention of discarded chair, stool, and table legs into the base of new desk lamps, and Miami artist Agustina Woodgate's animal skin rugs which focus on abstracted colors and patterns hand-sewn out of disassembled, pre-loved stuffed animal toys.
