PROJECT OVERVIEW

Developed for the "RE-THINK, RE-USE, RE-DUCE" exhibition in Copenhagen, this innovative chair design addresses the growing challenge of material waste while celebrating the city's commitment to sustainable living. By reimagining discarded materials, the project transforms unused bicycle tubes and reclaimed wood into a functional, lightweight seating solution that embodies the principles of circular design.

Created in collaboration with designer Dögg Guðmundsdóttir, the chair tells a story of resourcefulness and creativity. It repurposes an old oak table from a flea market and bicycle tubes, combined with pig hair—a local industrial by-product known for its excellent insulation properties—to create a lightweight, stackable chair that challenges traditional notions of furniture design. The project reflects Copenhagen's bicycle culture and commitment to sustainable living, transforming waste materials into a practical, elegant design solution.
