“REUSE – REPAIR – RELOVE” is the leading slogan of this green art practice.
“Spin” is a brand about the repair and reuse design. The aim of Spin is to maintain the value of old pieces of furniture, at the same time using a creative approach to give a brand new and modern look. The idea of this project/practice is to raise Eco Awareness among the visitors and to introduce them to the concept of reuse and repair. That is the concept of offering “a new life” to the old pieces of furniture, that otherwise would end as a waste. In this way you can continue keeping an old piece that you are attached to, as a new unique manufacture.
The main goal of this business concept is to increase people’s environmental awareness of the processes of recycling, reuse and reparation, as well as reducing waste, where most of the old furniture ends up. Additionally, in our country, unfortunately, old furniture sometimes ends up as fuel in some homes or is burned in open landfills, which emits toxic substances that are very harmful to human health, so with these processes we directly affect the reduction of air pollution, which is becoming a serious problem in our country.
Another main goal of Spin is to preserve the sentimental value that people have with a special piece of furniture, as well as the cultural value of this type of furniture, which today is being replaced by mass production from non-ecological materials. The need to give an ecological approach to design is becoming more and more important, so the combination of unique design and ecological approach are the main characteristics of SPIN.
An important goal in this green business is also the preservation of traditional crafts, which unfortunately are disappearing more and more, and SPIN does that preservation by involving traditional craftsmen (carpenters, upholsterers, locksmiths, etc.) who work on Spin’s designs with their professional approach. Young artists and designers are sometimes involved in the design processes of the pieces, creating opportunities for them to leave a unique stamp in the making of some of the SPIN pieces.
