STARTER KIT
Starter kit for Horizons (Convenience Gallery)
The idea behind this project was to produce a kit to encourage playful experimentation with materials and to understand semi-permanent joining methods. Building on the idea that something can be taken apart and remade into something new encourages the reuse of other materials.
The design is made up of a kit with cut out slots and holes. The starter kit can be used on its own or with other materials. It is thought that when someone feels satisfied that they have created something themselves, they are far less likely to throw it away and buy something new. The kit can have functional applications and be used to make props, shelving or other storage, or it can be entirely sculptural.
