aquattromani al 67 eco-friendly fashion shop

Quello che fino a ieri avevamo sempre considerato come un gioco ha finalmente preso forma.

Nasce in un ambiente creativo il nostro laboratorio,dove si realizzano accessori e abbigliamento per offrirvi uno stile innovativo e divertente del vestire.

L’obiettivo che ci proponiamo è quello di creare un prodotto interamente artigianale con materiali naturali che si svincola dalle grandi produzioni in serie recuperando l’unicità e l’originalità degli oggetti, che diventano pezzi unici o in selezione limitata.

La collezione primavera-estate 2010 di borse e zoccoli riutilizza pellami e tessuti che provengono da campionari per imbottiti di arredamento, destinati ad essere eliminati e rimpiazzati ad ogni stagione. Li abbiniamo al legno, materiale ecologico per eccellenza, quasi ormai inutilizzato nella fabbricazione industriale dei grandi marchi.

Ogni “scarto” della lavorazione viene recuperato e trasformato: ritagli, specchietti, nastri e scampoli rinascono come complementi che arricchiscono i nostri accessori e diventano a loro volta qualcosa di nuovo.

Fantastic Recycled Plastic

Fantastic Recycled Plastic is a book that discovers the creative potential of recyclable plastics. It's filled with imaginative and whimsical projects, whether it's wearable art or dimensional figures, toys or lights, for all ages to craft with recyclable plastic bottles as the medium.

"I LOVE LONDON” and "I LOVE RECYCLING”

"I LOVE LONDON” and "I LOVE RECYCLING” is a public declaration by the artist, to celebrate and support a new ‘culture of sustainability' and herald a ‘zero waste' future, for you to hang on your wall and treasure for life!

THIS LIGHT Made from Recycled Plastic Bottles

The sibling team of Reta Howell and Vana Howell of THIS Gallery have taken recycling into their own creative hands with their THIS Light series. Made from discarded plastic bottles that the two salvage locally, THIS Light turns landfill destined “trash” into delightfully repurposeful lamps. Each fixture is original and handmade, and incorporates every piece of collected plastic into the design. The results are an enlightening display that also serves as a beautiful “reduce, reuse and recycle” reminder.

Lights made from old books

Another gorgeous design from Atelier Bomdesign. These lights are all made from old books and are available in various models.

That’s ‘One’ (Weird Looking) Folding Bike

The ‘One’ bike is a design concept by industrial designer, Thomas Owen, a recent graduate of the UK’s University of Derby, from whence he departed with a B. Sc. (Hons) in Product Design, Innovation and Eco-design. Seems he studied subjects like Eco-design Methods and Strategies, Eco-design Management, Eco-design Applications and Appropriate Technology. Some of which must have lead him to take on the not inconsiderable challenge of redesigning the world’s most efficient means of transporting humans. A prototype ‘One’ bicycle was made, but it doesn’t look like it was quite road-ready. We do however like that Thomas did think outside the diamond (frame), though wonder if he was influenced by the Locust by Czech designer, Josef Cadek? Either way it’s an interesting take for a cute looking city bike. ::Thomas Owen via Yanko
