Trash & Treasures S01 - Paper Pulp
24/31/07
“There are many things and materials around us that we have made, used, discarded, or simply left over. However, the question is whether we perceive them only as waste or if we can discover their hidden potential.”
![]()
Trash & Treasures is a new experimental research series that focuses on the rebirth of objects. Some waste materials will eventually become functional and beautiful products—that’s the goal.

Recycled paper is the first material with which we are testing its properties, prioritizing its advantages, and showcasing what it is capable of.
We present the first five objects at Designblok 2024.
Paper Wall

We were invited to make an experimental wall from recycled paper at the Jan Zrzavy exhibition in gallery 8smička and the result was amazing!
The wall welcomed guests right at the beginning of the exhibition and created a cozy atmosphere and good acoustics.

Option? Paper Pulp
24/04/01
Iconic lampshades launches the 'Paper Pulp' project, which utilizes hand-crafted recycled paper to create thin and light yet structurally robust interior products. These products aim to replace 'new' metal items, which are not as sustainable from the perspective of energy demand, thereby promoting more responsible environmental practices.
Mate&Mate for good
24/02/14
Mate&Mate is the collection of candles that quite literally stand on their own feet. The project was made special for St.Valentines popup. The candles in the collection usually require each other to achieve optimal stability. This connection is not just an aesthetic or structural element, it also carries a profound meaning - reminding us that together, we are stronger, and mutual support propels us forward.
For this project we have partnered with non-profit organization Mistni Mistnim which provides free basic services to people in need in Prague.
Sláva! the Design Hub
24/01/28
At the beginning of the year 2024 we designed and produced interior elements for the new Design hub in Prague - Celetná 12 called Sláva! From big light objects to pink jewelry display cases and tables.
All elements are primarily reused from material sourced from amazing @art_re_use based in Prague.
︎Atmospheric light in the entrance hall:
This 5m square object transforms the entrance hall into a more intimate chill zone. It can be dynamically adjust its brightness and character based on the position of the individual shading circles.

︎Light installation for exhibition hall:
The object seems to effortlessely float in the air, resembling soft clouds. Upon closer view, the fabric as a subtle diffuser hidding electrical components. All you can see is a gentle glow, akin to a lone moon in the sky.
︎Pink showcases and tables:
Embracing sustainbility, these pieces are born from the reuse principle, crafted with residual MDF desk outcats sourced from Art Re Use.

NEIGHBOURS studio & pop up
23/10/02
At the end of 2023, we started a series of neighborhood pop-ups in Prague 7. The event supports the local community of creatives and their networking with each other, but also with potential customers. The events support not only the creators themselves but also the charity. On some pop-ups, the creators agreed to donate 20% of the profit to the Místní Místní charity and thereby support a good cause. We would like to continue this series of pop-ups and keep the creative fire going.
