RE;CODE, founded by the Korean textile and chemical company Kolon in 2012 with the aim of creating a sustainable fashion brand based on the virtuous circle of limited resources and ethical values as an alternative to fast fashion, promoted a sustainable initiative, in collaboration with DEKASEGI, the Japanese design unit by Schemata Architects (Design) and TANK construction company (Product Realization).
RE;CODE is a "conscious" brand that designs and produces sartorial creations with refined details, the result of the exquisite know-how of craftsmen and designers, who have been able to re-evaluate waste materials and samples in the warehouses of fashion companies.
RE;CODE & DEKASEGI have selected nine groups of Asian designers (Japan, Korea and China) who pursue sustainability in their respective fields.
Together, they have been the protagonists of the "Re;collective" exhibition dedicated to the "Upcycle" theme, dreaming of a sustainable future under the slogan of 'creating significant changes together'.
From fashion to industrial design, moving on to furniture design, ranging from seats, street furniture, lighting, to clothes that speak of haute-couture details and tailoring: the theme of reusing industrial waste is tackled with creativity and imagination through the 12 projects on display.
The venue of Re;Collective exhibition, designed and realized by DEKASEGI, offers communal tables, benches and table lamps realized with waste where visitors were given the opportunity to experiment with the recovery of objects, with the idea that solidarity for a sustainable world could become even stronger and wider in the future.
During the workshop, the visitors experienced the creative process of upcycling and designing with various subsidiary materials such as leftover labels and buttons. Participants were provided with a key ring made from repurposed airbag tape and colored straps having the opportunity to decorate it using a variety of materials.
For the exhibition, Dekasegi conceived a venue composed of fixture and display made of old wood and reused materials. The tables, surrounded by sanded antique chairs, are made of Japanese old wood
