It is easy to forget that discarded objects can come from a myriad of places. Designer Joost Gehem focuses on all kinds of people when developing this seating element. Gehem states that in the Netherlands alone ’135,000 deaths, 32,000 divorces, 10,000 bankruptcies, and thousands of hospitalizations occur each year.’ He goes on to note, ‘Many household inventories are left without a home. If heirs and dealers have no interest in the household goods, they usually end up in the local dump.’
Founding the Transformation and Distribution Centre for Abandoned Household Items, Joost Gehem provides a better place for these neglected items as is the fact with this seating element which are made from grounded waste.
