I found this design studio while doing some etsy surfing. The work is really incredible in it's simplicity of both design and materials. I love the way this ordinary object comes together to create a really interesting pattern that once you add light to is just gorgeous. A lot of times we associate objects with a specific function and if they are not serving that function they are considered useless. I'm really interested in re-using these objects for purposes that they may not have originally been intended for.
Organelle is run out of Vancouver, British Columbia and describes itself as such:
"Our work starts with a simple premise: waste is the most abundant local
resource our cities have to offer. Often free or inexpensive, waste is a
seemingly endless supply, always providing new and exciting design
possibilities. As such, we approach our work from two angles. We are both
searching for found objects to suit specific design program, and
continuously
harvesting available waste materials to derive concepts
from.....Neither mass
production nor one-off custom design, our work falls
somewhere in
between."
The piece above is cleverly entitled Hangelier 2.1 and you can see more at the Organelle website or www.etsy.com/shop/organelle .
