Heritage Material Design

This series explores the transformation of industrial remnants into works that merge the language of factories and craftsmanship with today’s values of circular design and sustainability.

Every piece begins with research into the origin of materials: the factory that produced them, the workers who handled them and the aesthetic traces left by use and time. The process of material transformation is both technical and conceptual. Cutting, layering, pressing or stitching make new forms emerge. Each object preserves fragments of industrial memory and invites to reflect on how design can reconnect with history.

Some works use textiles from local companies, others include layers of old postage stamps that have travelled across the world or fabrics once common in public interiors. Together they show how materials carry local history and global trends into new design pieces.

The materials we use come directly from the company’s site, such as leftover textiles, packaging or sample materials. Others are collected from local workshops or thrift stores in the same region. This approach keeps production local and makes each project specific to its environment.
