Redesign: Breathing New Life into Forgotten Materials
The Redesign projects exemplify a commitment to sustainability and creativity, focusing on material reuse and the innovative use of local resources. Each project is a testament to the potential of transforming discarded and overlooked materials into something meaningful, beautiful and unexpected, celebrating their history while creating new spaces and experiences.
These site-specific installations promote a culture of repair and regeneration. They serve as a platform for experimentation where craftsmanship, art, and architecture intersect in playful and imaginative ways. The process is deeply collaborative, bringing together diverse disciplines and inviting people from the local community to take part in shaping the space. This inclusive approach not only enriches the making but ensures that each project genuinely resonates with its surroundings.
Deep Sea Disco
Radicle Collective, 2019 – LungA Festival, Seyðisfjörður, Iceland
In the small town of Seyðisfjörður, on the east coast of Iceland, we created a vibrant festival site filled with installations and spatial experiences made from discarded materials from the local fishing industry. Deep Sea Disco reimagined waste as a resource, weaving in local narratives and marine aesthetics. The result was a playful, immersive environment where creativity and resourcefulness challenged our perceptions of material, collaboration and space.
Furniture from Old Bicycles
Jr. Lab, 2011 - Kulturhavn, København, Denmark
A multifunctional piece of furniture constructed from discarded bicycles, with a continuous wooden surface flowing over the entangled frames. The design combines seating and table functions in a single form, shaped through the interplay between wood and metal. The piece has been exhibited at locations including Copenhagen Municipality, Copenhagen City Hall, and the Marriott Hotel.
Floating Lounge
Jr. Lab, 2011 - Kulturhavn, København, Denmark
A floating stage created for Kulturhavn 2011, constructed from bicycles recovered from the bottom of Copenhagen’s canals. The installation explores reuse in an urban context, transforming salvaged materials into a functional structure that interacts with both water and city. Floating Lounge served as a gathering point on the water, connecting public space with the environmental stories beneath the surface.
Trip Trap Tryl
Jr. Lab, 2010 - Islands Brygge, København, Denmark
An installation built from 350 reclaimed EU pallets, serving as the opening stage for Kulturhavn 2010 at Islands Brygge in Copenhagen. The structure transformed standard industrial materials into a temporary public space, highlighting how reused resources can shape dynamic and playful urban environments.
