Rebirth

Rebirth is a sofa made from second-hand clothes. There are two different chairs above and below respectively. The top stool can be a personal small stool when it is taken off from the sofa. When the two chairs are combined together, it becomes a sofa with a backrest.

Rebirth can accommodate more than two people, the purpose is to allow more people know that used clothes still can provide warm and comfortable feelings to people. In addition, people can “share” their feelings with their friends and family. Through Rebirth, people can remind that there are lots of used clothes which still can "wear" and “share” those for someone who needed.

The main goal of Rebirth is to allow people to reflect on the destruction caused by fast
fashion, focusing on exploring the possibility of second-hand clothes which can be able to apply in product design. At the same time, Rebirth is also conveying the concepts of the nature protection and environmental significance, and people should consider the consequence of producing clothes while buying fast fashion. The production process of products will cause different levels of environmental pollution and impact, and it is vital to allow people to know those issues. In this era of information explosion, designers have a strong ability and responsibility to transmit positive messages through the influence of the design and express the issues people concerned about in daily life.

Insist on retaining the soft tactile feeling of second-hand clothes and the unique visual feeling of fabrics, mainly in the hope that viewers can reflect on their shopping habits and the impact of fast fashion. Rebirth uses 100% hand-sewn and cut materials without adding any chemical additives which are damaging the environment. By sorting the colors and materials of recycled clothes, Rebirth are visually organized as for colors and textiles. The main hope is to make viewers feel that second-hand clothes are blooming again like new clothes.
