Punarsrijan (ReVive)
The project focuses on transforming discarded furniture into custom-made, visually appealing pieces to promote sustainability and environmental awareness. By using innovative design methods, it extends the lifespan of furniture, thereby reducing waste and contributing to the circular economy. This approach addresses key environmental issues such as resource depletion and the carbon emissions associated with the furniture industry. By repurposing old furniture, the project not only creates unique, sustainable designs but also offers practical solutions for reducing the environmental footprint of the furniture sector.
Who is this for?
Market research, consumer surveys, and expert interviews have revealed a growing interest in sustainable furniture solutions, particularly among environmentally conscious individuals. However, the widespread adoption of upcycled furniture is hindered by challenges such as high costs, limited time, and a lack of awareness. To bridge this gap, the project emphasizes the importance of accessible learning opportunities, such as community workshops, to educate individuals about the environmental and creative benefits of upcycling. These workshops aim to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to engage in the upcycling movement, thereby fostering a community of eco-conscious consumers and creators.
Process and Prototyping
The Future of this Product
The project aims to create a sustainable business model by integrating upcycling into everyday life and encouraging eco-conscious behaviors within the community. It explores how community-driven efforts and collaborations can help increase the popularity of upcycling practices. By focusing on scalability, affordability, and consumer awareness, the initiative strives to make upcycling a mainstream practice. Through ongoing workshops and collaborative activities, the project seeks to overcome barriers and establish upcycling as a viable and attractive option in both local and global markets, contributing to the broader adoption of sustainable design practices.
