Our creation connects deeply to the "Build Your Dreams" theme by embracing the idea that dreams are personal, unique, and ever-evolving. During our brainstorming, we realized that each of us interpreted "dreams" in different ways—what one person envisions as their dream may be entirely different for someone else. This led us to design a product that allows people to bring their dreams to life in a personal, adaptable way.
“Multiply” is an innovative, modular furniture system designed to enable users to bring their dreams to life in a personalized and sustainable way. Inspired by the creative possibilities of Lego, each piece in the system can be reconfigured, stacked, and combined, offering endless customization options to fit unique spaces, tastes, and needs. This adaptability empowers users to construct furniture that evolves with them, adjusting seamlessly as their lives and preferences change.
At its core, this product embodies sustainability. It is crafted from reclaimed materials—such as crates, construction debris, and other discarded building elements—sourced directly from local construction sites. By choosing these "forgotten" materials, the design not only repurposes waste but also eliminates the need for further processing, reducing both carbon emissions and potential pollutants associated with conventional recycling. This approach embraces the raw, unprocessed aesthetic of the materials, allowing their natural textures and imperfections to add character and tell a story of renewal.
Beyond mere functionality, this modular furniture system aligns with a vision of sustainable living. It embodies the idea that beautiful, practical design doesn’t have to come at the expense of the planet. Each piece in the system is about 90% sustainable, providing a responsible choice for consumers who value both design and environmental impact. By turning construction waste into adaptable furniture, this product redefines waste as a resource and inspires others to see the possibilities within discarded materials. This furniture system is not only a statement of individuality but also a commitment to a greener, more thoughtful approach to design.
