Repairable Wooden Technology Products : Craft-Techmen Project
The 'Craft-Techmen Project' is the design work of Japan-based Kodai Shimizu and identifies what could be done to make everyday technology products more sustainable and aesthetically appealing.
The collection of products includes two speakers and a hairdryer that are all crafted using timber materials along with a series of threads that create visual intrigue, while also helping to change various functions. The wooden components are a naturally more sustainable option compared to plastic and can be easily swapped out when damaged or broken instead of requiring the entire unit to be thrown out.
The 'Craft-Techmen Project' brings a new ethos to the world of technology products and conceptualizes what can be done to make the essential solutions around us more sustainable.
