Daniel Orozco Estudio and House of Form unveil tableware from repurposed waste

House of Form and Daniel Orozco Estudio (DOE) have collaborated to create a special collection of tableware pieces. Daniel Orozco Estudio, a Mexico-based interior design and decor studio that creates pieces made from natural resources, is committed to the environment. They maximise material use and aim to optimise resource usage with each design they conceive, and this new tableware collection is no exception.

"Thinking about this collection, the song From Zero to Hero comes to mind, because to create it, we used the waste materials from the larger pieces and furniture design we make at DOE, staying true to our zero-waste philosophy," the studio's founder, Daniel Orozco, says in an official statement. Environmental consciousness is not only a growing consumer concern but an important way to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Each product design in the collection is crafted from 'leftovers' of materials used for larger pieces. It is designed to upgrade any restaurant or kitchen it adorns. Each piece adds a touch of design to any space. This line includes salt shakers, pepper shakers, napkin holders, bowls, fruit bowls, centrepieces, lamp designs and vases. The Mexican designers also introduce an innovative artefact that has a strategic space to place the bill and bring it to the table within an original piece of art.

Part of this collection was made in collaboration with the studio in Arizona, United States, House of Form (HoF), where they created eight products to launch for commercialisation with clients from both studios and countries. "For this collaboration, we followed DOE's and HoF's guidelines and philosophy by using recycled materials that are also environmentally friendly, such as wood, stone and marble, experimenting with new finishes to texturise and highlight our product," reads the project's official description.

To conceptualise this line, the product designers set it against Casa Museo Ramírez Vázquez, designed by architect and designer Pedro Ramírez Vázquez. This architect's space perfectly complements DOE's pieces—a modern yet functional design in dialogue with the sculptural design collection.
