Nothing New is a series of functional objects created through the reuse of pre-loved (or pre-disliked) objects. By dismantling, processing and combining second-hand objects, we explore their material properties, limitations and potential as new objects.Through hands-on experimentation, we explore how their original functions can be transformed into new uses.
Every object, whether loved or overlooked, has a past and a relationship with its previous owner. By bringing these histories into the new design, we reuse not only materials but also stories. These stories accompany their objects into their new life. In this way, the project explores how new value can emerge at the intersection of material, human relationships, history and design.
