Window Display

Friday, 21 August 2026

Environment Day

Environment Day is a retail window display created for a store in Istanbul. The display features a hand made dry land wall that draws the attention of people passing by. The idea arose from drought and the loss of natural resources on Earth. A green field was designed to penetrate the dry land, showing that renewal is still possible. The dry land was formed from clay applied to MDF plates and sun dried for one week to create a fissured surface. The green areas are made of moss and the letters are cut from wood. About 98 percent of the display is made from sustainable and organic materials.

Yoga House

Yoga House is a sustainable house designed as a passive solar earth shelter. The building covers 224 square meters and is made of natural and upcycled materials. Thermal mass construction and natural ventilation regulate the indoor temperature. Solar panels and wind turbines supply electricity, while rainwater is harvested and stored for long term use. An organic garden allows food to be grown on site. The mainly single story layout is freely oriented on the terrain to preserve all existing trees and to open favorable views.

Eumakeit

Eumakeit is an upcycling design project based on the reuse of the components and packaging of the Eumakers filament spool. Once the 3D printing filament is finished, the multi-component reel can be disassembled by hand and converted into a coat hanger. The parts can also be combined with models printed in biodegradable Pla to form furnishing accessories, with more than 90 models and over 100 colors available. Up to 11 different objects can be made from a single spool. The project invites users to reduce waste through self-production.

Water Filter

Monday, 17 August 2026

Minus

Minus is a portable tap water filter designed to be reusable and zero waste. Minus uses pressure from the tap to push water through a filter of activated coconut charcoal, removing chemicals, bacteria and odour. The body is made of stainless steel with a rubber coating for a better grip when wet. A natural indigo colourant inside the filter washes out gradually with use, showing clearly when a replacement is needed. The used filter can be posted back, then cleaned, recharged and reused, which avoids the waste left by disposable filters.

Bonyeon

Bonyeon is a biodegradable material used for household products such as lighting and trays. Bonyeon consists only of discarded agricultural and fishery byproducts, such as rice bran, bark and seaweed, bound with natural adhesives of proteins and microorganisms. The material is light and durable, and imitates the colour, scent and texture of nature. Bonyeon decomposes completely in a natural environment and leaves no harmful substances. Production is possible in a small workshop or at home with little capital, and the use of byproducts adds income for farming and fishing villages.
