Christine and Florian undertake design investigation on the waste upcycling whilst supporting local craftsmanship. By exploring the materiality of waste, they would like to introduce these new upcycled materials to local craftspeople and extend the conversation of upcycling to more creative practitioners. Their belief is that through their continuation of waste material research and collaboration in the crafts, they will be able to help addressing the city’s waste issue, while supporting and bringing awareness to dying crafts that are native to Hong Kong.
