The Scrap Stool
We asked local paper businesses to put their paper waste into trashcans that we filled with a slow drying glue. By discarding their paper waste into our trashcans, the employees ended up creating furniture! Without changing their routine, the workers changed from being wasteful into furniture makers….who vigorously recycled.
Selected Press
There is untapped potential in the manufacturing process everywhere.
We simply “killed two birds with one stone.” We are applying this design method to create other usable objects - from chairs and tables to larger pieces of furniture including sofas and beds. Repurposing for good is an important design methodology that we stand by.
Behind the Project
Making The Scrap Stool
The most exciting part of this project for us has been seeing others create their own Scrap Stools! It's easy, all you need is some glue and a ton of scrap paper.
