One more with feeling
As the world faces climate change, many businesses are addressing this pressing issue and making some really interesting products from recycled and sustainable materials. We’ve rounded up some of our favourites Kopper Kreation
This industrial-style homewares brand uses reclaimed and recycled materials to create unique and eye- catching homewares. Emmet Bosonnet is the creator and founder. Emmet, an engineer, has always been inspired by industrial design and has a keen eye for practical and functional product design. He loves the raw materials of copper, steel and brass and is inspired by all things industrial and nding alternative uses for items that tend to be disregarded or sent to a recycling centre or land ll. Sustainability is at the heart of the Kopper Kreation ethos and they strive to use reclaimed, recycled materials and packaging as much as possible. Emmet loves to spend as much time as possible down at the local scrap yard sifting through the treasure that people disregard and trying to make something new.
His latest o ering is ower vases made from recycled scrap and test tubes saved from an old science lab. Emmet says: “All my products are handmade and nished to enhance the natural qualities of the di erent raw materials. I love the natural patina that develops with metal in time, in particular the beautiful greens and blues that develop in copper over a longer period of time. Even the test tubes in these latest creations came from an auction from an old science lab that closed down last summer so everything is recycled.” kopperkreation.com
