Material Matters

A thoughtfully curated selection of art objects, fashion, and product designs demonstrated how used materials and waste products can be transformed into new, functional forms for reuse. The exhibition inspired visitors to reimagine the potential of materials in alternative applications, fostering a deeper understanding of sustainability.

The international collection of projects included tape-art furniture by Jean Baptiste Gambier, a dress made from recycled VHS tapes by Mira von der Osten, and a transparent sofa padded with used breathing masks by Tobia Zambotti. These were juxtaposed with a dress crafted from discarded glasses by Lou de Betoly, showcasing the transformative power of design across disciplines. With playful and innovative approaches, the exhibition encouraged both designers and consumers to recognize their decision-making power in shaping a more sustainable future through design and consumption.
