Outfits will dramatically change because of depletion of materials, energy crises, climate change and global war. Only design optimism, the cheapest and most recyclable materials will be left.

Cardboard Optimism & Design

Plastics are everywhere, but depressingly harmful for the environment. And all these other pessimistic views!

Cardboard remains for free in every street of every city of the world and is the favourite material for makers, easy to cut and shape, needing just imagination and a knife.

This situation is a genuine challenge for a MAKER who believes in a positive outcome!

Outfits and Symbolism

Outfits are already signifiers. Workwear. Party wear. Group identifiers.
Can an outfit become even more, like a hopeful symbol?
This is where the material cardboard can also play an important role as a versatile makers material. It can easily cross boundaries of design.
Presented will be fusions between an outfit and a workbench, a workbench and an altar.
Outfit - workbench - altars.
Symbols for Culture which values Education, for Work Ethics, for the World - Design for Peace!
That is not all...

Contribute and Participate

We have to survive the period by uniting our skills and talents!
The presentation will be open for contributions.
Join saving the future.
Materials and simple tools will be available.
Waiting for you!!!
