Redesign Design | Make the CUT

In this corporate gift product line the design process was treated as an opportunity to explore sustainable modes of creation. A series of prototypes were made, each presenting a case study for practitioners of slow making and circular economy. Items made with reclaimed wood from modernist demolition sites, construction beam off-cuts and discarded wine barrels, find their way onto corporate desks. Each product, inspired by the university logo, triggers a new set of social commentary regarding aesthetics and perceptions of making, leading towards a practicitioners’ guide for sustainable making.
