Christoph Kurzmann Breathes New Life to Old Furniture
Amy Duong — May 23, 2023Christoph Kurzmann designs a new series of furniture using old down furniture, giving it a new purpose and function. When Oxford Brookes University was renovating and refurbishing about 250 student bedrooms in their dorms, it has plans to bring the furniture to waste.
However, one of the furniture design students proposed that the raw materials from the drawers and beds were to be incorporated into new designs. This was the fruition of the Upscaling Upcycling project as the designers use materials for new looks. Kurzmann disassembled the existing furniture and then used it to build new kinds of looks. The bedframes that were taken from the downs were then transformed into stackable stools or the bed slats were used to create stacked chairs.
