Refinement of Waste,
A Sustainability Renaissance

Pieces of stone removed during the renovation of the stairwells on each floor along with formwork, iron parts and aluminum materials from construction sites were collected to make the item. It is an extension of the design concept used for the table and chairs in the same conference room.

The pieces of stone removed during the renovation of the stairwell of each floor and solid wood panels from construction sites were collected, remade into this table, and then coated with natural German varnish.

Iron tubes that supported formwork at construction sites were recycled and used to create the light fixture; the form of the tubes also served as the inspiration.

The chair was made from construction site formwork and debris netting that were recycled, and then coated with natural German varnish.

The chair was made from construction site formwork that was recycled, and then coated with natural German varnish.

The stools were made from discarded construction site formwork and cement bags that were recycled, and then coated with natural German varnish. They represent a body of work that was the result of a very experimental cross-team effort.

Materials such as pieces of formwork, safety nets and blue-and-white debris nets from construction sites were recycled and repurposed to create the chairs, which were then coated with natural German varnish.

Pieces of stone removed during the renovation of the stairwells on each floor were recycled and re-cut for a new design.

The table is made of large sheets of stone removed during the renovation of stairwells on each floor, scrap formwork, and safety net plastic that were recycled and redesigned after conducting material research and development.

Large sheets of stone (Note 1) removed during the renovation of the stairwells on each floor were recycled for an innovative design.

Different types of stone, scrap pieces of wood, safety net plastic and panels from various construction sites were collected, cut into cubes, and strung together to create this light fixture that resembles camping lights.

Waste materials such as aluminum ceiling strips and granite from the renovation of the stairwell on this floor were recycled and used to create a landscape of green hills and flowing water, creating a link with the campfire table in the common area and the image of a campsite.


Materials such as construction site scraps and protection foam for door frames were recycled and reassembled into the chair, which was then coated with natural German varnish. This is the first time that the META team attempted to build recycled furniture using foam.

Different stones were collected from various construction sites, then cut and assembled.
