floor mat in used bottle caps by katell gelebart from netherlands
designer's own words:
This floor mat has been made out of used bottle caps.
* The caps are hand tied together by a thin nylon line that passes
through 4 holes pierced in the caps. (=low technology)
* Even low skilled people can make it ( = democratic design)
* The material is 100% re-used because it comes from garbage
(used bottles of juices, milk etc). (= zero waste)
* The material is abundant and produced everyday everywhere in the world. (= immediate + abundant)
low technology + zero waste+ immediate + abundant = low carbon footprints
This is my way of being environmentally responsible and aware of environmental justice.
