Dessa
Sustainable furniture system
Dessa is a furniture system that responds to the problem of overconsumption. It allows for multiple uses of the same components to create new furniture, thanks to a system of easy assembly and disassembly, in accordance with the principles of the circular economy. Users donate old components to the company so that they can be used in new collections. The user can replace and repair damaged parts and make changes to the appearance and size of the furniture. For the needs of the project, I created a special material that can be regenerated, recycled, and is biodegradable.
