Supercyclers is an Australian design group that gives new life to waste materials by creating useful and beautiful objects with them. Their 2012 Milan Design Week exhibition in the Ventura Lambrate district showcases an inspiring assortment of functional recycled objects – what we really like is that instead of just putting pieces of scrap together, they have converted waste into desirable objects that you would really want to have in your house. According to Sarah K, the head of Supercyclers, “Designers should be able to think through the life of the product, and how it would eventually end up in landfill. When we look at waste plastic bags now, we look at them for their colors and how they can be converted into beautiful objects.”
