We reinvent old, forgotten, or discarded items, giving them a completely new utilitarian purpose. Each lamp is a result of craftsmanship and experimentation with idea, form and materials – where industrial aesthetics meet an artistic vision of functionality. We are upcycling ideologists! ♻️ UPCYCLING It’s a Creative transformation of something no longer in use into art objects. Unlike recycling, it does not require additional production costs for processing, which leads to co2 air pollution. WE SUPPORT THE IDEA OF ​​NOT CONSUMING A LOT, BUT UPCYCLING WHAT ALREADY EXISTS. We upcycle selected things into pieces of furniture, light and decor. The Spanish street loudspeaker, commonly known as the “altavoz callejero” in Spanish, is a cultural and historical element that has played a significant role in the daily life of many Spanish communities. These loudspeakers are often found in public spaces such as town squares, markets, and residential neighborhoods, and they have served various purposes over the years. Historically, Spanish street loudspeakers have been used as a means of communication and information dissemination. Before the widespread use of modern communication methods, such as smartphones and the internet, these loudspeakers were a vital way to convey important announcements, news updates, and community events to a wide audience. Local authorities and organizations would use them to inform residents about everything from upcoming festivals, religious processions, and public gatherings to municipal regulations and safety instructions.
