The exhibition Endless consists of works made entirely from recycled material that would otherwise be discarded. The subjects are diverse and 20 designers take part in the exhibition.
We live in a consumer society. Every day a large amount of waste and trash is discarded. If we begin to look at the trash as an exciting raw material, you can change the vicious cycle to an endless cycle. The raw material simply becomes material for new things, instead of being a burdensome trash. Thus there will be an endless cycle.
The waste first began to have an impact with increased industrialization and the requirement for increased speed and margin per working hour. Overproduction is common and most of us are unaware of the trash we leave behind.
Creative people need to be at the forefront in taking the next steps to reverse this evolution and point out new solutions to utilize what is currently called trash.
