The New York-based Nikolas Gregory Studio introduces the 'Scrap Stool', an innovative approach towards sustainable design by repurposing industrial waste, specifically paper from local businesses, into functional furniture. By asking businesses to dispose of their paper waste in bins lined with a slow-drying glue, the studio efficiently creates stools with minimal production costs, utilizing waste and existing labor. This inventive method not only highlights the potential of sustainable design in reducing industrial waste but also signals a shift towards more environmentally conscious manufacturing practices, with plans to expand this approach to other furniture items, embodying the principle of re-contextualizing and repurposing for good.
