Wasted at V&A (LDF09)


















South Kensington London Underground tunnel.

HINT: re-use materials for a coating architecture.

"Wasted is a project conceived and curated by Arts Co, presented in the tunnel connecting the London Underground to V&A, which sees architect Ian Douglas-Jones and designer Ben Rousseau create a vast architectural seating strata using materials reclaimed by Elvis & Kresse. Wasted will interrogate a UK environmental problem - the tones of traditionally unrecycled waste that end up in landfill - and demonstrate how reclaimed materials can be used to create aspirational products."*
