Remnants

Remnants aims to transform single-use plastic into practical items. With heat, discarded plastics, and some ingenuity, I've created furniture and found ways to merge materials like wood and stone.By sharing my creations and process, I hope to inspire a new perspective on waste and stir fresh approaches to recycling.

Project Walkthrough

Check out this video to see Remnants in action. It's all about collecting waste from local spots, breaking down plastic into ropes and tubes, and using heat to join materials. Watch as waste turns into functional items like shelves and chairs. A glimpse of how we can redefine recycling and start to use this material to our advantage.

Exhibition / Workshop

Watch this video for a sneak peek at the Remnants exhibition. You'll see an array of creative joints and the different materials we can join. Plus, catch a glimpse of the workshop, where I roll up my sleeves and teach others how to reuse plastic and build new stuff.

Prototype Pieces

Dive into the photo collection below for a closer look at the stuff I've made during the project. But remember, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine the possibilities if we shared this method in resource-limited areas. We could create affordable furniture, or even spark new businesses.
