How might we divert waste from residential construction and re-incorporate it into someone's life to make them aware of the issue of construction inefficiencies?
Project Overview
Create a product for Firefly Market in Boulder, CO
Materials used must be recycled/upcycled
Work in a team of 3 on a tight time constraint
Create 12 units for purchase
Materials Used
The Pepper Mill
The Pepper Mill is crafted from off-cuts of high-quality cabinets, resulting in a diverse range of woods being used. All the wood was generously donated by a local cabinet maker.
Each off-cut was milled into a workable shape and then glued together. Once formed into a block, it was shaped into its iconic triangular form and bored out to house the grinding mechanism and peppercorns.
The Terrazzo Base
The Terrazzo Base is crafted from half-used bags of mortar, glass, and crushed tile, giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded.
These materials were mixed and poured into a silicone mold. Once the mortar was set, the sides were sanded down to expose the diverse materials, creating a unique look for each base.
