Paneco House made from Waste Clothing
Hisae IGARASHI has designed a living space created with PANECO to demonstrate the diverse applications of the product and express the cycle linking clothing and housing, which is an essential part of people's lives. The collaboration with Ms Igarashi came about because she was a student of the late Shiro KURAMATA, a master of the Japanese interior design world and the person who inspired WORKSTUDIO’s president Kazuhiro HARA to enter the interior design industry. Ms Igarashi shares WORKSTUDIO’s vision of contributing to a recycling-oriented society and recognizes and embraces PANECO’s unique appeal, describing it as a material that can be used in a wide range of applications. Each piece of PANECO shows the time that it has been used. The sight of its diverse expressions drifting through space as interior decorations and objects will bring in a little fresh air that is different from the nostalgia we have seen in the past.”
Our project seeks to demonstrate new possibilities for a recycling-oriented society enabled by PANECO, which recycles clothing destined to become waste into a resource made beautiful by the power of design.
