Re-collection Table

Using only straps, books, magazines, and metal frames to create a one-of-a-kind design.

In modern design, addressing waste is essential.

This unique furniture piece repurposes discarded books and magazines, which hold personal significance for designers as sources of inspiration.

More than a storage solution, it embodies the emotional and historical value of the printed materials.

The strength of the books supports the structure, symbolizing the renewal of discarded objects and promoting sustainability through innovation.

This piece is both functional and a reflection on redefining value through creative reuse.
