The Cabbage Chair

 

We cannot reject that needless waste and heaps of scarps fabric are part of the equation in textile's and fashion malfunctioning process in industry. Many designers designed amazing product that related to cutting edge fashion and eye-catching furniture designs. On the other hand, this process will come with a huge cost in term of useless element.

The Cabbage Chair design by Japanese designers, Nendo. He determines this trend by using waste paper from the pleated fabric industry and turning in to an organic shape. This furniture textile waste chair was designed for the exhibition, the XXIst Century Man Exhibition, curated by Issey Miyake, in Tokyo.

As Nendo (n.d.) has described, the Cabbage Chair fits (our) active, optimistic, and forward-moving ’21st century selves,’ the kind of people who, to borrow a concept Miyake expressed during a meeting with us, ‘don’t just wear clothes, but shed their skin'.

Amazingly, this Cabbage chair was made from used product in the textile industry. From a huge of paper from industry that usually abandon and unwanted product. This is clever solution with waste things by recycle to a renewal for textile and furniture industry.

In my opinion, there many have unwanted products from there production not only a piece of paper from pleated process but also included environment production around us. This is one of first step that creative new design for recycle useless product as a new. In my project, I used  heat transfer technique by use transfer dyed paper on to fabric, which this produced in mass amounts during the process of making print pattern. There product are unused and waiting for throe it away. In the same way, I would like to use some paper to create some lamp cover in origami design. This is a good way for use unwanted thing to newly.
