ReDesign at Dray Walk Gallery was one of our favourites of the festival, showcasing environmentally sound designs from 50 established and new designers.
ReDesign, spearheaded by Hidden Art memebers Jason and Sarah of WeMake, is a not for profit organisation eith a passion for friendly, sustainable design. Sarah certainly wins Superwoman of the Year hands down for working solidly on this project while taking care of a newborn baby!
And the collection certainly did not disappoint - below are some of the highlights.

Shredded Paper Bin by Ikuinen Design: the ultimate waste paper waste paper bin? Shredded magazines and office paper moulded into a lightweight cellular structure to make this recycling bin.
Prudence by Beef Design: Prudence uses sustainable stiffening solution to transform discarded jumper sleeves into lamps - only two are ever alike!
Tlip Kitchen Trees by Spinifex: reclaimed laminated chipboard from local office and house refurbishements is used to make these handy kitchen trees.
Multi-sheer Shade by Kate Goldsworthy: using clean printing and digital cutting to minimise waste and monomaterial polyester components designed for disassembly for easy recycling.
Sushi board by Leonhard Pfeifer: made from sustainable Thai rubberwood, the sushi board introduces ritual and interaction into a meal.
Roadworks rug panels by Fabrications: a witty re-use of bicycle inner tubes. The modular panels can be zipped together to make a roadway.
