New Spongla
There are numerous options to reuse materials or objects and it depends on us designers how we protect our environment and handle with care the natural resources.
The idea of circular economy and resource efficiency is spreading globally among designers as well. I am focusing on objects made of unique secondary raw materials which have been seldom or never used by artists. Therefore I have chosen old foam mattresses to get big amount of sponge for my work. It is quite unusual to use waste or garbage-like materials for designing jewellery. I have been inspired by the new idea of circular economy. How to use recycled sponge for making jewellery at the first sight not obviously made of waste? I have to prove that jewellery made from waste can rival with jewellery made of brand new materials.
