Designers are invited to imagine objects for workspaces, capable of inspiring new interactions and transforming ways of working, while prioritizing resource-efficient design. Opening reception on 29.10, 17h : Registration 8 designers – 8 objects Starting from furniture, materials and recovered objects, each designer is invited to create a unique piece. The imagined objects should dialogue with contemporary uses of work: concentration, well-being, collaboration, conviviality, creativity and social interactions. Creation process The exhibition champions a design practice attentive to resources, where creativity is exercised as much in the final object as in the design and manufacturing processes. The creation process is an essential dimension. Designers draw from flows of materials and objects passing through CSP waste bins, considering what already exists as a resource and constraints as a project driver. Through reuse, transformation or reappropriation, designers are invited to give new life to forgotten fragments and explore new design methods. The objective: create functional and meaningful objects that combine a low-tech and sustainable approach, an aesthetic of transformation and attention to their life cycle, repairability and reuse potential.
