Reclaiming Design

Organised by Inhabitat and hosted at HauteGREEN in New York, Reclaiming Design was an event that attempted to tackle the notions of recycling and reuse so pertinent to our design industry today.

Giving way to a host of contributors, including Dwell Editor-in-Chief Sam Grawe and designers Carlos Salgado of Scrapile, Tejo Remy of Droog fame, and Matt Gagnon, the video looks at the processes behind using reclaimed materials in different scales of design, and its implications for both environmental sustainability as well as more conceptual and cultural themes.
