WORKSHOP IN YOGYAKARTA
Exploring the DNA of recycled bikes in Yogyakarta
Amaury Poudray (networks), Wisnu Purbandara and Raditya Mahardika worked together with Andre Suryaman, owner of Natural House Home Deco in Kasongan for 2 weeks, exploring the neighboring craft companies, the rich heritage and the city of Yogyakarta. Andre, himself an artist, has been developing products from recycled materials, mainly from old bikes, for years.
This was the starting point of the P.I.T, recycled alphabet project. The team explored the possibilities offered by the simple shape of a bike frame and created two different objects: a modular shelf system (P.I.T shelf) and a small scale module that can be arranged in any shape to create a sculpture or a room divider (P.I.T molecule).
The workshop has been supported by the Indonesian society of industrial design, the Indonesian association of craft and furniture companies, Saint Etienne Cité du design and the Bandung Institute of Technology. Learn more about partners here.
