Project 2: Upcycling

Rationale

Material:
Coffee bean bag, natural fibre (straw) woven
Sample of Clothes

How to Use:
1． Use like a magazine rack or container
2． If you like, fill it with horticultural soil, wood fragment and grass seeds. Water it fully and put it under stray light. Green fur will cover the Softy Monster 3~5 days later.

Concepts:
Straw woven bags are chosen for its degradability under the condition of gardening use. It also can be PP woven bags but not for gardening.
People wove the bags for fair trade coffee, and the bags were left over after the beans were taken away.
I treated the bags as a kind of clothes for there were some beautiful prints on the bag. The texture of bags is unique. Bags which are in same colour were chosen to join together.
To make it naturally, I make it like an animal but a Monster at result. I filled it with wast plastic bag just because they are strong enough to maintain the shape.
