Plastic Recurrence

Plastic Recurrence is a series of benches designed for a district town hall in Hong Kong, by using recycled household plastic waste from the same district. HIR studio recycled the plastic bottles in the riverside town, processed, and remolded them into new public benches, before bringing them back into the local town hall for everyone to enjoy. The series were made of only two typical modules assembled in varied lengths and rotations. Tactile textures and imperfect color of recycled plastic render each bench unique. What is taken from the community is used back in the community.

Hourglass

Hourglass is a multifunctional furniture that expresses the design concept of "one plus one is greater than two". It can meet basic needs and give people a sense of experience. The design is inspired by the art of time-hourglass. The hourglass is a symbol of time. When the sun is born, it is a "coat rack"; at noon, it can be used as a "shelf"; when night falls, it can be used as a "table lamp". The changes in different functions remind people to follow the direction of time and perceive the beauty of life.
