Over 5 tons of recycled orange plastic was used in the project, using locally sourced waste. Bringing our ‘Radical Plastics’ ethos to Bangkok ♻️

The project was approached very much as a brand collaboration, with a mission to amplify circularity in Bangkok using culture as the vehicle of change.

Space Available, the circular design studio, has joined forces with Dover Street Market Ginza to present an in-store recycling workshop, igniting a spark for circularity and systems thinking within the heart of Ginza, Tokyo.

With a profound commitment to the environment and a passion for promoting circular design and waste-led design,Space Available and Dover Street Market Ginza are excited to introduce a new collaboration that aims to inspire, educate, and elevate the concept of recycling.

This workshop take place on the 28th of October, 2023, and will offer an immersive educational experience that turns waste into art and design objects.

To complement this workshop, an exclusive SA x DSMG‘Radical Recycling Uniform’ has been meticulously crafted.

"The Mycelium Network" exhibition explores fungi through cultural collaboration with Space Available and LA design collective Brain Dead curating works from an international community of artists and designers, including furniture and objects.

This exhibition showcases Space Available's Radical Fungi case study, highlighting mycelium as a sustainable material solution. It aims to connect creators and environmentalists while addressing the harmful effects of toxicity and our wasteful culture. All items in the Mycelium Network exhibition are 100% natural, biodegradable, and can nourish the soil.

The exhibition at Brain Dead's Fabrication Gallery showcases mycelium-based works from various artists and design studios, including Space Available's Mycelium objects, Stools, Meditation Chair, collaborations with Max Lamb using fungi waste from Really Clever, mycelium table lamps by Bewilder, Reishi-based speakers from Myco Audio and Baltimore Loth, and organic mushroom stools by Dean Edmonds.

Introducing Space Available x Nike circular objects for Nike’s Give Fresh Air initiative.

Since 2019, it has redefined Air Max Day on 26 Mar by uniting communities for charity.

Each year, Nike's Give Fresh Air program is hosted in boutiques worldwide. We were proud to join Invincible Indonesia's Give Fresh Air event.

Our studio made circular designs - 'Swoosh' incense holders and coasters from ocean-bound plastic waste.

Our Nike 'Swoosh' incense holders are crafted from 120 grams of recycled plastic, and our coasters use 75 grams of plastic removed from nature.

In partnership with Nike, we aim to encourage mindful design and a circular future. We created circular design objects for Invincible Indonesia's Give Fresh Air event - incense holders and coasters made from ocean-bound waste plastics.

Counter Culture Living in the 21st century.

Inspired by the DIY modular approach of Ken Isaacs ‘Living Structures’ (1974).

Low impact, modular and self-sufficient. Interchangeable from global locations for new nomadic living. Move and leave no footprint on the land.

An inter-connective link allows people to swap homes easily when traveling.

A 'waste to energy' system. Off-grid and self-sufficient within a community-led ‘back to the land regenerative system.

Made from recycled plastic and bio-based structure. Easy to assemble and disassemble.

The project is a collaboration with the architects of Sidarta and Sandjaja.

Space Available has teamed up with Peggy Gou to recycle and redesign plastic trash in Java, Indonesia; the second biggest polluter of plastic in the world.

Our aim is to create awareness of the plastic pollution crises and inspire change through circular design and culture.

Using waste plastic not only helps to clean oceans and landfills but also creates further awareness on the issues we are facing in today's world.

We collaborated with artist and fashion designer Ican Harem to highlight the concept of radical upcycling. Harem is a key player in the upcycling and reworking of waste materials in Indonesia – old garments and objects rehashed into something new. 

Together, we hosted our first live upcycling workshop based on the notion of RE3: Reconnect, Reimagine and Redesign. Harem talked us through his process of sourcing used clothes, finding harmony in clashes and using sewing machines and hand-stitching to create a new experience from items of the past.
