Fixing minerals with minerals

A collection of a series of homeware made with discarded materials and objects from The Hague, Netherland. Many products in second-hand shops are not sold and are then sent to the incinerator, so Erco Lai decided to give a new life to glass and ceramic products by developing new coatings made with waste minerals from The Hague.

But what should be designed for a world of plenty? Natural resources are getting exhausted, so Erco Lai believes in alternative ways of designing, using what is already there. The response to our current context is a local and circular production.
