Returns to the Superdesign Show the Thai collective with a new chapter dedicated to local manufacturing declined in contemporary key with a focus on BCG (Bio-CircularGreen) productions. Last year, Slowhand Design 2022 presented a series of toy-products by the company Qualy made from industrial and organic waste to encourage children and adults to love nature. For 2023, DITP has chosen products and materials for home furnishings intended to keep the public’s attention on current issues like the limited quantity of raw materials on the planet.
Thus, Artslonga, Sonite and More are made from various recycled materials. Mixtures of rock debris from architectural constructions, plastic packaging waste and even water hyacinth, a wild grass found in Thailand’s rivers and canals, are reassembled and mixed in the form of new wall decorations and, in some cases, serve as acoustic protection. With this exhibition, Thailand again emphasizes that companies must manage sustainable productions, not soon, not in the short term, not now, but right now!
