Overview

+Green is a collaborative upcycling project with IKEA that reimagines returned furniture by integrating natural elements into everyday living spaces. Using returned IKEA tables, mirrors, and lamps combined with moss and stones, the project transforms discarded items into functional yet artistic home installations. The design explores how reused materials can gain new life while bringing nature into urban environments.

The project highlights upcycling as a sustainable lifestyle practice and encourages people to rethink the value of returned or unused products. Exhibited in an IKEA showroom, the installation invited visitors to reflect on the relationship between nature, design, and sustainability, while demonstrating how everyday furniture can be redesigned to support more environmentally conscious living.
