Contribution to РЕЛАКС

РЕ>ЛА>КС transforms urban environments with simple tools and upcycled furniture and interactive objects. As part of a three month experience several art and design pieces were built, sold and used. 
Driven by charity and volunteering the project involved gathering unuseful objects, disassembling them and making new functional pieces sold for the benefit of a children's library.

 
Brainstorming on the problems of the central railway station's underpass.
Assembling benches from pallets and skis
Building up a new inspiring bookshelf from unusual pieces.
Getting ready for the new generation TVs "Positron" (limited edition positive television sets)- art installation that aims at changing people's mindset in a funny way. 
The TV shows only positive news and they change while turning the lever.
Built from parts of bicycle, windsurf and and old tv.
"Клетъчен телефон" (word play in Bulgarian) makes a little joke about the cell phones and the cages that they built for us. 
Trapped inside the bird cage, wrapped with invisible strings, the cell phones raise awareness of our incredible dependance on them- on our voluntarily cage.
РЕ>ЛА>КС shows how rethinking old unuseful objects can transform the urban environment. Objects re easily put aside and being forgotten. Repurposing them makes them only better, adds another cycle to their life, makes us feel grateful and shows us how caring we can actually be if we want it.

All of the furniture pieces are now present thanks to the support and hardwork of Iliana Stoilova, as well as all the other people involved in the project.
