Green Prophet talks to Assaf Wexler of Dosuno Design about the sustainability of multifunctional furniture, using recyclable materials, and an eco-prognosis for his old hometown of Tel Aviv.
When it comes to furniture design (or design in general), Green Prophet has consistently been a fan of the sustainable variety – which comes in many shapes and sizes. Sustainable furniture can be upcycled and made out of repurposed materials, such as old doors and shutters. It can also be made out of recycled materials altogether (like Amir Zinaburg’s chairs made out of recycled soda cans). We’ve also seen very stylish and durable furniture made of cardboard – a recycled and easily recyclable material. But to date we have not seen much multifunctional furniture design, which is sustainable because it frees people to require less furniture (and therefore fewer resources).
Israeli designer Assaf Wexler and his partner, Santiago Restrepo, of Dosuno Design in Bogota, Colombia, create many multifunctional furniture pieces and we decided to have a chat with them.
