To Our Future- SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT- SCRAPTURE

This project is an upcycling activity that complements and displays "SCRAP" emitted from building materials and interiors materials as "FURNITURE," reuses it as recycled material, and returns it to the earth.

According to an announcement by the Ministry of the Environment, the amount of industrial waste generated in Japan in FY2020 will amount to 373.82 million tons*, and the amount of scrap generated per day will be nearly 1 million tons. We believe that it is our responsibility as creators, who come into contact with a variety of materials every day in our concept design work, to take the initiative in communicating to society and local communities about the recycling and use of the earth's limited resources. We have formed a team of young in-house creators and plan and manage projects as social contribution activities.

By enclosing and supplementing pulverized waste materials into a transparent skin made of recycled vinyl as furniture, we will create displays that conveys a message in an art-like manner and displays offices and public spaces in Japan and abroad. After being displays for a certain period of time, the materials will be returned to interiors and construction sites as interiors resources, and the project will be related to a traveling sustainability activity in which the next generation of waste materials will be enclosed, supplemented, and displays.

In order to reach as many people as possible with our message, we held a launch displays in the entrance space of our office to solicit corporate sponsors, and received support from many corporate sponsors, local people, and educational institutions. By allowing people to "see, learn about, and touch" "interiors waste materials" that they don't see on a daily basis, we hope that everyone will have an "opportunity" to think about a better future and a sustainable society. displays is based on an installation concept that allows you to feel the message.
