ÉCAL students turn Artek furniture waste into children's toys



Students from Swiss design school ÉCAL have used material offcuts and production rejects from Finnish manufacturer Artek to create a collection of toys.
A modernist-style doll's house, a balance bicycle, a wheelie chair and a cuddly sheep are among the designs created by second-year students from ÉCAL's Bachelor Industrial Design programme.
Wheeling is a wheelie chair created by Marco Renna using parts for an E60 stool
Others include plush toys shaped like sea creatures, a playground slide and a hanging ladder "to reach for the stars".
The objects were created under the guidance of Swiss-French designer and ÉCAL tutor Julie Richoz.

Richoz took 27 students to Turku in Finland to visit the factory of Artek, the furniture brand established in 1935 by the country's most famous architect and designer, Alvar Aalto. Here, the students collected both material offcuts and half-finished production pieces that had been rejected.
Shania Soares' L-Bike uses components from different furniture pieces
As a result, the designs feature recognisable elements from various classic Alvar Aalto designs.
Designers Jessy Bueno, Léo Crespin, Aramis Rüdisühli, Nicolas Honegger, Bruno Pauli Caldas, Mattia Cook and Marco Renna all created toys incorporating the best-selling E60 stool.
