We’re always talking about the future of design, the future of technology, the future of MAKING. In a world where umbrellas can act as personal mobile weather stations, a world where virtual windscreens can easily add augmented reality to automobiles…how do we find the next ‘big thing’? MakerGalaxy is a show that explores the crossroads of Design, Technology, and the Future of Making
This week we talked to Israeli industrial designer and sustainable furniture craftsman Eli Chissick. Eli’s background in both carpentry and product design led him to focus on designing furniture made from reclaimed scraps that he converts into new sheets of material to work from.
We’ll talk with Eli about everything from how he got his start in product design, how he creates his own material to work from made from scraps, what he thinks of the digital fabrication movement, and more.
We’ll Be Discussing:
- Best breakfast pastry in the world?
- From carpentry to product design and back again?
- Why sustainable product design?
- Developing new material from discarded material
- The importance of shop experience for tomorrow’s generations
- …and more!
