(···) This cacophony is exacerbated by the sound of interviews with experts from the many agencies that contributed to the show, and it is impressive that so many individuals and government bodies have collaborated and been coordinated in this way. (···) In addition to the games and the talking heads, each of the six sections in Eco Future contains a selection of commercially available products and inventions, such as indoor chicken coups, solar stoves, home composting kits and clothes made from recycled materials that have no doubt been chosen to show how technology can be used to solve environmental problems in innovative ways.

The Arts and Crafts Center in the Valencian Community open a new space with Essence, an exhibition featuring the collaboration between Sanserif Creatius and a group of artisans -pottery, leather, glass and others- to reinterpret objects and pieces associated with the culture of wine and table.
The exhibition will open to the public alongside the Habitat Valencia Fair to promote a innovative cultural offer to the visitors of the event, while promoting the use of traditional techniques for the development of items or products that live with us in the ritual of the table, including the decoration of places and the relationship with new technologies such as smart-phones or lighting efficiency.

As a campaign to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable growth and a commitment to recycling as the future of habitat, that’s Prejudice, the latest proposal of Sanserif Creatius Valencian designers. A seat that hides a footrest and a coffee table inside, but above all that tries to address the concerns of society about the qualities of cardboard as a material of the future for the home.
Prejudice armchair · Sanserif Creatius
In essence, Prejudice is a set of seats that can be used independently -or put together them to form a sofa- accompanied by two complementary units that are extracted to act as a table or footrests, allowing a large number of positions. A versatile seating in 100% recycled cardboard and produced through a sustainable production process.
In addition, Prejudice is part of a limited edition furniture collection, part of the collaboration project with the Association of Corrugated Board Manufacturers (AFCO) and the Special Employment Centre of “Apai Foundation” to promote socio-labor integration of groups in situations of exclusion.

In fact, Prejudice is designed, like many of the creations of Sanserif Creatius to evolve and adapt to different spaces throughout its existence, as well as other sets of pieces designed by Ana Yago and José Antonio Giménez like Bold collection or Duduá -this one is capable of acting as a support table, stands for a table or as a bank continued to grow without end, and even become a library that adopts many positions-.
The genesis of this piece is found in the definition of the name; Prejudice (Prejuicio, in Spanish), that means a prior opinion, tenacious, usually unfavorable, about something that is poorly understood, according to the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE).
As the director of Sanserif Creatius, Ana Yago, says: “There are many stigmas associated with paper and cardboard. Both have been demonized as pollutants but they are actually the result of cleanest production processes and with less environmental impact.”
Furthermore, the Valencian designer have pointed out that a lot of corrugated cardboard companies produce only with virgin fiber of controlled and certified plantations by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and / or recycled fibers, something that the most industries can’t say.

(···) The idea behind the collection is to show people the importance of materials like cardboard which until now had never even been seriously considered for the home. Three Little Pigs is a fable on the importance of the materials with which we create our everyday habitat, based on the popular children’s story of the same name. Is not just about presenting a new material, but also hopes to raise society’s awareness of the importance of social design. In other words, it is a brand of design whose goal is to improver quality of life and foster sustainable growth. (···) More at Dopress books.
