The upcycling-designer Marco Hess from Hamburg/Germany made it his business to create a statement against the throw-away society. With upcycling, used wine bottles can be reclaimed as scented candles. After being collected in bars, taverns, and restaurants, the bottles are carved, cleaned and then polished. Filled with 100% natural soy wax and refined with natural fragrance from essential oils,
every candle is a handmade and unique
item – made in Hamburg.
Used coffee sacks are the base material for many upcycling products. The burlap fibers are sturdy and have one really important feature – they are sustainable. Used only once for storage and transport of coffee beans, the sacks are predestinated for a second life. Andras from Presso Design had the same thought, when he was sitting in an old café in Rome 2012, discovering a pile of empty coffee sacks. Together with his sister Kata he established a company to sell sleeves for tablets, smartphones and note books as well as purses made of used coffee sacks. Since the bag’s design vary according to region and country, unique creations arise, combined with pure Italian leather.
