“Rematerial looks at a new generation of architecture, based on the use of waste as a raw material for construction. Although the projects share this common premise, the results are diverse due to the different settings, the ratios of recycled to new material, and local regulations. Intervention can take various forms: the reuse of an entire building, or many of its parts, on the same spot as a new construction; the recycling of components that have been extracted from another building before being treated and transported to a new site; and projects that use recycled materials. But in every case there is a common denominator: the quest to breathe new life into something that has been discarded.”

“Kotik Design launches their online store or unique packaging based jewelry: “A good look around will reveal the variety of materials that surrounds us wherever we turn, in part noble-precious stones, silver and gold. In part valuable and necessary and then – some are useless. Among the latter, are all materials and elements that terminated their purpose, their reason of existence and thus became worthless objects’ almost transparent, scrap. We look at them and see the best raw materials for our design.” TheDieline.com: Package Design: Kotik: Jewelry Made From Packaging
