Whereas learning Furnishings Design on the UK’s Oxford Brookes College, Christoph Kurzmann realized the college was refurbishing numerous dorms. Some 250 pupil bedrooms have been to be demolished, and all the furnishings—intact although it was—was headed for landfill. Decided to protect as a lot of the uncooked materials as attainable and incorporate it into new furnishings, Kurzmann conceived of his Upscaling Upcycling undertaking.
“I noticed this waste as inspiration – and an enormous useful resource,” Kurzmann writes. “I needed to up the picture of upcyling, and encourage all designers to supply supplies from what they discover round them.”
Kurzmann disassembled bedframes, repurposing them into stackable stools.
Mattress slats turned stacking chairs.
Drawer models turned storage towers.
This is Kurzmann’s video on the undertaking:
