Shinichiro Ogata: Wasara range of disposable tableware
Tableware design project that is made entirely of 100% renewable and “tree-free” materials. The materials include: bamboo, reed pulp, bagasse (a type of substance leftover from the sugar-refining process that is usually thrown away).
Not only is this design elegant and beautiful in its minimalistic design but it is also sustainable. This design proves that ‘throw away’ plates don’t have to be ‘cheap’ and unsophisticated but can be biodegradable, organic and renewable while simultaneously being a well-designed piece of tableware. This design proves that in order to incorporate environmental sustainability into everyday lifestyle can be easy as well as a stunning addition to tableware set.
