"SCRAPTURE" and other upcycled furniture displays at a traveling "Mobility x Apparel" idea creation event

NOMURA will exhibit "SCRAPTURE" and other upcycled furniture at the Creators Meetup Party 2024 "Hōrumon Night," a party for creating and discovering ideas in the world of mobility and apparel, to be displays at the World Kita Aoyama Building on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Nomura Co., Ltd. is also participating as a sponsor of this event.
 

This event was planned by JAID (Japan Automotive Interior Designers), an activity of volunteer creators belonging to major domestic automobile manufacturers, and World Co., Ltd. It is a meetup party that shines a spotlight on the "horumon = throwaway (scrap)" that is generated from cars, clothes, food, etc., and connects people through reborn hormones. You can enjoy a variety of unique ideas from creators, such as a fashion show using scrap materials and displays related to "mobility x apparel" that transcends corporate boundaries.

NOMURA will displays "SCRAPTURE" and other items such as speakers made from recycled acrylic partitions that were scheduled to be discarded. This time, "SCRAPTURE" will focus on automobile waste materials, and will displays used airbags, interiors seats, and factory waste.

Our exhibit details

■ SCRAPTURE (SCRAP MATERIAL UPCYCLE PROJECT) / NOMURA Co., Ltd.
This product was created as a practical and sustainable message art that appeals to emotions and memories by bringing interiors waste that is normally not seen into the public eye. Unlike the traditional scrap-and-build message, this product will be upcycled as new interiors materials for the next generation and circulated as a medium to expand the circle of co-creation. The product will be displays in traveling locations such as offices, international conferences, and art events, with the aim of inspiring many people to think about a better future. It has received the Gold Award at the Sky Design Awards 2023 (Multimedia & Visual Included Exhibition category), the Gold Award and Tezuka Yui Award at the 57th Japan Sign concept design Awards, and more.

■noon／Material Record
noon.00 is a speaker made from recycled acrylic partitions that were installed in large quantities by NOMURA Group. The acrylic that was scheduled to be discarded was crushed into cullet-like pieces, and then heat-pressed to create a milky white light grain effect. The music that plays from the speakers may give us an opportunity to reconsider our relationship with materials and their possibilities. This work was created by Material Record, a group that conducts research on the theme of materials = earth's resources.
