"Artistic recycled furniture"
Józef Szermentowski State Art School Complex in Kielce
By taking part in the project, students will be able to learn the full spectrum of state-of-the-art digital 3D printing techniques, creating and designing eco-friendly and inclusive furniture. The activities undertaken in the project, which go beyond the school curriculum, will not only guide students through the entire process of design activities but will also broaden the horizons of young artists in the topics of recycling, design and arranging school space. The applied arts will contribute to the integration and comfort of the residents of the school boarding school.
The design team will make a device to recycle PET bottles and create printing filament. A furniture set will then be printed to serve the students. The project aims to extract an attractive artistic form from the ungrateful, artificial material plastic and, through the process, to provoke a reflection of care for the environment. The value of the project is to try and bring about social change through a pro-environmental attitude and the integration of students.
