Our Upcycling Hub Wins Singapore Good Design Award 2022

Designed by Airlab SUTD, our upcycling hub features a communal space with stylish yet functional furniture made from waste materials. The project kickoff as early as back in 2018 and through collaboration with Airlab SUTD, the initial idea of creating a space for employees was transformed into our upcycling hub today.

This eco-friendly space showcases our commitment to circularity and explores the use of new technologies for sustainability. Waste materials such as plastic bottles, wooden pallets, cardboards, and more were repurposed into design pieces to fill the space. This includes chandeliers, pallet tables, cardboard coffee tables, and foam chairs.

The project also marks the first interior design in Singapore to leverage sustainable manufacturing methods and digital design processes to create an interior space with furniture and fittings made from upcycled waste.

Recognized for its sustainable design, we are proud to be a winner at Singapore Good Design 2022.
