RE-invention

The subject of re-inventing brings a lot of words that can explain this as the innovation of something. This is something that came as a natrural path of development in the human world. The re-invention in our day is something that comes with a obvious concept, Sustentability. We are agree that if the re-invention of materiality had to be, in some way part of the solution in this new era.


In somehow the re-inventing of a material became more in re-conscience nature. Sustentability in materials in our idea is part of the brands that are coming out, Intelligents material, synthetic material. Now we are looking for materials that are more concience about the balace of create new from others waste like Quarella that has a large range of stone products that are suitable for counters, bench tops and tiling applications. And their products are made from recycled marble. quartz or limestone which is mixed with a polyester resin, creating a hard wearing natural looking product. The water used in their manufacturing processes is filtered and recycled. Other way is the combinations from recycle and mix other for create a suplement, like the Husque which is a range of products are the result of melding recycled macadamia nut shells with a polymer to form a dense mould able material similar to Bakelite from the 1930s. Like this examples we what to show that part of the re-inventing materility is also be in the path of the sustentability of the world.

In other form, the subject re-inventing materiality is act with that. As we were talking of sustentable materials, desing is other way to innovate in materiality. Part of the constant develop of new materials is the requirements of the architecs of today. The creativity is the key for ideas that can change the use of some particular material or create the need for it, like desings for shelters that in some point re-think the ideas and the concepts to bring with new ones.

To conclude this, we think that is important the way to re-innovate something. In our days the balance with nature and human develop is not equal. That’s why we talk about the re-invention as a re-thinking of materials.
