During the second edition of Talks at the Kiosk as part of the SPACES FOR TOMORROW exhibition at Dutch Design Week, the project re:source by SBYD resident Robert Schnüll was presented.

The prototypical objects created during the residency in the field of “Sustainability and Technology” – electric coffee grinders – were made entirely from repurposed electrical components, also known as e-waste. In a conversation with Professor of Industrial Design Kristina Andersen, the discussion, inspired by the project re:source, revolved around experimental design practices. The focus was particularly on the question of how the reuse of technical components influences design practices.

How does the exclusive use of recycled electronic parts affect the design of prototypes and aesthetic concepts?
