Every year thousands of broken household appliances are just thrown away and replaced, causing an alarming amount of waste that often does not get a chance to be recycled. For example, we have seen loose wires at scrap metal shops, which have been stripped of their cooper wires, leaving the plastic outer shell as waste. In order to find a solution to this problem, we looked at the concept of zero waste, and designed a series of recycled crown seating stools from wasted plastic outer shells and recycled fan covers.

城市家居的電器能成功維修的少之又少，個別零件壞掉，結局往往是全個換新的。同時我們發現即使在回收店，也有很多材料未能盡被回收，例如廢鐵回收店收集了舊電線，抽出內藏的銅線變賣，外層的膠料則再次成為廢棄物。我們就將舊風扇罩結合舊電線，製成循環再造手織椅，實踐zero waste概念。
