Scope: 升級再造工作坊
升級長凳工作坊
Guiding four PolyU product design students, this workshop explores the hidden potential of post-exhibition carpets and recycled tires. By combining the elastic structure of tires with the soft texture of discarded carpets, participants re-engineer these local waste materials into a stylish, versatile bench. The project highlights hands-on upcycling and sustainable design thinking, empowering emerging designers to transform everyday urban waste into functional public seating.
帶領 4 位香港理工大學產品設計系學生，一同探索展覽廢棄地氈與回收車胎的物料潛能。團隊結合車胎的剛柔彈性與地氈的柔軟質感，經過解構與結構重組，親手打造兼具實用性與設計美感的多功能長凳。本工作坊透過手作實踐展現升級再造（Upcycling）精神，引導新一代設計人發掘社區廢料的無限可能，為城市空間注入永續設計思維。
