‘rememberme’ is a project about appreciation, relationships, separation and the notion of continuous reinvention. made from old clothing garments such as jeans, t-shirts etc., the chair addresses our current societal issues of sustainability and recycling, giving the, what would have been discarded garments, new life.

the wear and use of clothes gives the chairs a vibrant story. with ‘rememberme’, the personality of the clothes live on, acting as something like a three-dimensional, contemporary quilt, giving new expression to the materials, their original shape and life story.
