We+ has designed Remli, a portable lighting fixture.
Remli is a portable lighting fixture that seeks to reconstruct the overly complicated and inappropriate relationship between humans and materials, reimagining waste materials from Tokyo as new vernacular materials.
In industrial waste recycling plants in Tokyo, fine debris and rubble – which remain after the sorting and recovery of reusable materials – are collected before being sent to landfills.
These collected fragments are further crushed, mixed with soil and applied to the surface of the lighting fixture using plastering techniques.
Through this process, Remli explores the new value of waste materials that are difficult to recycle and often sent to landfills.
This project has been longlisted in the sustainable design (consumer) category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
