Today I had a lecture by Kate about design to reduce wastes and chemical impacts.
I like her idea of recycling old carpets to create new pretty carpets by cutting its surface by laser cutter and make beautiful patterns on it and also dying it with natural materials. Because she's recycling old carpets, her finished products seem like it already got vintage quality and it's adding value to itself.
It is quite a simple idea but could be a starting point for everything could be recycled.
I know it's all by his hand but laser cutting reminds me of works of Rob Ryan.
Imagine if he uses old prints for his material, it could be anything like old posters, newspaper, ads... He surely creates amazing value to the wastes.
