Carolien Adriaansche is an artist who  make a sculpture with locally recycled items. This unique  recycled handmade sculpture encourages recycling.
Her art pieces are inspired by nature, dreams, poetic aesthetics, color, humor and joy in everyday life.

Carolien Adriaansche has been collecting for years a whole
assortment of junk, which she catalogues in her studio according
to color and form.
After a visit to the Natural History Museum in Rotterdam in the
early 1990s, her junk collection and love for animals united into one.
Then came the first collections: animals in little closets.
These collections were exhibited in the large display windows at
the old central station of Rotterdam and traveled further through
Colette in Paris and Hong Kong to New York.

In contrast with the Natural History Museum, Carolien does not
include the regular habitat of her displayed animals, but instead
she creates a new bio-diversity environment for them made out of
garbage. Garbage is one of the causes for the elimination of
bio-diversity on earth.

아기의 물병은 항상 고민이다. 아기는 하루종일 물을 먹는데,  그 물이 시간이 지나면 신선하지 못하게 플라스틱  냄새나 세제냄새가 베이게 된다. 그렇다고  생수병에 바로 먹일수도 없었다. 그런데 이 생수병 전용 아기 젖꼭지는 너무 좋은 해결책이다.  미국과 유럽에는 작은 사이즈의 물병이 나오는데, 거기에 이 실리콘 아기 젖꼭지를 끼워 먹이면 아기에게  깨끗한 물을 먹일수 있어 너무 좋다.

The Emeco 111 Navy Chair

We make chairs. That’s what we do. It is Handmade from 80% recycled Aluminum. Yes It’s not easy. In fact it takes 77 steps to get there. However  it Designed to last for 150 years. Now that’s what we call sustainability. The Emeco 111 Navy Chair with Coca-Cola. Made from 111 recycled plastic bottles and 66 years of Emeco know-how. When you recycle a plastic bottle, you’re doing something good. When you recycle one of them, you’re doing something great. Help your bottle become something extraordinary again.

코카콜라 알류미늄과 자연에서 나온 섬유를 재사용해서 만든 의자. 의자 하나 당 111개의 콜라병이 재사용되며 77번의 공정을 거친 핸드메이드 의자는 66년간 사용할수 있다. 이처럼 위대한 럭셔리한 의자의 재탄생이 또 어디있을까?

For more info:

About four years ago, in 2006, Coca-Cola came to us at Emeco with a proposal. Their recycling plant in Spartanburg South Carolina was brand new and processing thousands of plastic bottles a day and they were looking for ways to show the value of recycled plastic. Everywhere else in the world people recycle about 80% of their bottles while in the US we recycled only about 20%.

Coke asked us to make the classic Navy Chair out of a new, unproven formulation of rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate- recycled plastic bottles). They introduced us to the scientists at BASF the international chemical innovator and together we developed proprietary mix made of about 60% and a special combination of pigment combined with glass fiber for strength.

In Coke-Speak, “The goal of the 111 Navy project was to alter consumer behavior by illustrating the value of rPET with beautifully designed and everyday products – ultimately encouraging more recycling.”

Requiring a state-of-art mold, the new 111 Navy Chair™ includes the original stretcher (structural brace) below the seat. This detail not only assures authenticity, but creates great structural integrity. The 111 Navy Chair™ carries a 5-Year structural guarantee. The new 111 Navy Chair™ is available in six colors: Red, Snow, Flint Gray, Grass Green, Persimmon and Charcoal. Snow, Flint and Red can be used outdoors. The new chair has a distinctive, “velvet” finish that is scratch resistant. The new chair passes California and UK Fire Codes, along with BIFMA structural testing for commercial use. Replicating the original Navy Chair in recycled plastic required an advanced molding technique, and the expertise of Magnus Breitling, Emeco’s esteemed Director of Product Development. The gas assist process adds internal structure to the chair while minimizing the amount of material required. The chair body is manufactured upside down in a special core island while a robotic function inserts the stretcher into place while the chair is still hot. The entire mold runs at an elevated temperature to yield optimum surface appearance and color. At three minutes per chair, It takes three times longer to make a 111 Navy Chair ® than a typical plastic chair.

Gregg Buchbinder, remembers, “When Coke came to me with this project I jumped on it. It’s a huge investment for a small company, but we have the potential of reusing the PET from about 3 million plastic bottles a year. That’s a lot of bottles and a lot of chairs too. The new chair is the strongest, and most beautiful we can make. We’ve turned something you throw away into something you want and can keep for a long, long time.” Engineering and tooling design began in 2008. In 2009 the “earth inspired” color palette was selected by Laura Guido-Clark, who has developed colors for HP, Samsung and Toyota among others. The first prototypes were molded in April of 2010, and the new 111 Navy Chair ® will launch at the Milan Furniture Fair on April 14, Hall 12, Stand C10.

• Design slowing the metabolism of human and economic activities and reducing resource use
• Design focusing primarily on the individual well-being, sociocultural and environmental
• Design celebrating the slowness, diversity and pluralism
• Design encouraging long-term vision
• Design involving the “continuous present” (a term coined in the fifties by Bruce Goff, American architect who found that the story belonged to the past, the future was still non-existent but we always lived in a continuous present)
• Design against the idea of “speed” (speed) of the current design (industry and consumption).

Concept

The process of slow design is comprehensive, detailed, holistic, driven, respected and thoughtful. It allows the evolution and development of design results. It belongs to the public and professional fields and stresses the importance of democratizing the design process by including a large number of participants.

Results

Slow Design is evident in every object, space or image promoting the reduction of human, economic, industrial and urban:

• designing spaces unique to meditation, actions and dreams
• designing for people first, then for money
• designing first for the local community and the international community
• producing social / cultural benefits and welfare
• producing environmental benefits regenerators and well-being
• democratizing design by encouraging self-initiated design
• catalyzing changes in behavior and socio-cultural transformation
• creating new business models and enterprises as well as opportunities
• presenting these results in the form of eight interrelated themes
