About this Event
How do designers transform “waste” into everyday objects of desire?
In recent years, the global design landscape has shifted its perspective on recycled materials—moving beyond mere environmental advocacy towards a rigorous exploration of material possibilities and craftsmanship.
Moderated by “ArchDaily” contributor Jonathan Yeung, this session brings together deTour 2026 co-creators, IAMMI and Ripple Chen Studio, for a deep dive into material transformation. From turning industrial foam scrap into chic, durable furniture, to sculpting discarded balloons into exquisite craft objects, the speakers will unpack their journeys from global R&D standards to local experimentation. Join us to discover how urban waste sheds its stigma to emerge as functional, beautiful, and enduring design.
當「廢棄物」不再只是環保標籤，設計師如何賦予其令人渴望收藏的日常質感？
近年國際設計界逐漸翻轉對再生物料的想像，創作不再止於「宣揚環保」，而是轉向對物質潛能的深入探索。
本場對談由《ArchDaily》撰稿人楊駿康（Jonathan Yeung）主持，集合 deTour 2026 創作單位 IAMMI 與陳漣漪（Ripple Chen Studio），共同開展一場關於物料重塑的深層思辨。從工業廢棄泡棉蜕變為時髦耐用的家具，到廢棄氣球被賦予新生、塑造成獨具匠心的工藝物件，對談將深入拆解他們從全球研發標準到在地實驗的創作歷程，見證城市廢棄物如何擺脫既有印象，淬煉出兼具當代美學與實用耐用的全新可能。
