3104 ALUMINUM PROJECT

Despite its high environmental performance, 3104 recycled aluminum remains underutilized in the field of design. To unlock the full potential of this material, we propose products that utilize innovative upcycling methods. Through upcycling, we aim to establish a new methodology that enhances the efficiency and creativity of design workflows, while simultaneously reducing environmental impact and improving design quality. In addition, we will make efforts to communicate the importance of recycling and upcycling in a way that is easily understood by the general public, raising awareness of environmental issues through design and contributing to the realization of a sustainable society. Furthermore, we are committed to developing products using not only aluminum but also a variety of materials, leveraging innovative molding technologies to create unique products from diverse resources. By expanding the potential of recycled materials, we strive to foster a circular design culture.
