to the last drop by Soo-Joung Han from korea
designer's own words:
We are living in a materialistic world. We make, use and throw away very easily. Low-priced products are piled in stores without any saving. The gesture that we conserve something is unfamiliar and miserable to us. To conserve means that we use materials to the end, until materials lose their roles and purposes. Do you think that the purpose of all materials in the world is to be used all? We live with having missions in the world; materials also have missions for the world like us. Is that a valueless behavior to support materials’ missions until the materials are sacrificed their all by the reason of it is miserable?
Then, let’s put the romantic reason aside for the time being. Instead of it, let’s talk practically about the reason why we have to conserve. It is a huge economic waste to throw away useable materials which still remain. The economic loss causes nature environmental damage. To produce more receptacle and contents and to contribute raw materials and products make the huge costs and environmental pollution again. The products which we use destroy the environment where we are living now. Are you happy with this result? If we can close a time gap between production and consumption in a material of materials we spend daily, we can protect the materials we use and the environment we live.
