The Design

About DB Schenker Upcycling Hub Innenarchitektur eines Pausenraums

Der DB Schenker Upcycling Hub ist ein 400 Quadratmeter großer Pausenraum in Singapur. Das Design verwandelt Abfallmaterialien in funktionale Gestaltungselemente, darunter ein Kronleuchter aus Kacheln, die aus einem maßgefertigten Filament gedruckt wurden, das vollständig aus transparenten PET-Flaschen hergestellt ist. Mehr als 500 Kilogramm Einwegplastik wurden im Projekt wiederverwendet. Zudem kamen Polystyrolschaum aus Verpackungen, Karton aus Logistikboxen, ausgemusterte Holzpaletten und recycelte Kautschukböden zum Einsatz. Ziel ist es, das Potenzial von Upcycling und zirkulärem Design aufzuzeigen.
