London Design Festival 2022: Creativity with waste materials


  • Islington Square 116 Upper Street London, England, N1 United Kingdom (map)

Demonstrating reuse possibilities and encouraging interaction with colourful waste material we invite you to design and create your own, one of a kind Yuzu Notebook.

 

In an environmentally challenged world, how should design respond to resource constraints, spiralling costs, waste management requirements and the inevitable rise in public demand for accountability?

We believe that any response to these realities should be a welcome part of the creative process. Each session leverages our centrepiece Yuzu product to demonstrate reuse possibilities, encourage interaction with waste and help attendees reimagine and create in their design language.

Utilising waste cover material from our production process create your very own Yuzu Notebook.

“We see these workshops as a way to open conversation and engage with our community around the subject of future and re-usable materials,” comments Pith co-founder Liam Goward. “A product constructed using waste is capable of being beautiful, it can also skip traditional recycling routes, producing upsides in cost, supply chain efficiencies, processing and carbon footprint.”

“We take great care in sourcing this beautiful recycled material and we believe that the same degree of consideration should go into reapplying it. During each workshop, we will communicate new ideas, facilitate group discussion and engage attendees in practical design sessions. The result should be a different way of thinking about waste at home, in the boardroom, design studio and on the factory floor; What other materials are being thrown away without consideration? What design and business opportunities are being missed as a result?” adds Pith’s co-founder Andrew Hardie.

This event has now finished.
