About Reemade

This journey started by observing the streets, the corners of the industrial zones full of giant garbage bags, which day after day take the trucks that fill dumps to the point of collapsing and then the question arises: how could they help the earth from drowning in their mistakes? 

It was then that Ximena Vélez and Jorge Burgos, two designers from Bogota, got down to work to experiment and learn about different materials, misnamed garbage, to create and design useful and functional objects that accompany our lives with style and authenticity, such as: organizers, lamps, trays and table utensils to accessories such as bags, with the aim of recovering and upcycling. 

But transforming waste is not an easy task, there are many hands and processes involved: those who collect, wash and classify it for later, cut, sew, knit, grind, bake, in each process they co-create and contribute to improving the lives of women and young people of low incomes, who with dedication and care help to materialize with their hands what was created under the magnifying glass of contemporary design.

Reemade is an invitation to believe that another world is possible where garbage does not exist and materials are transformed, where we remake the way we consume and relate to the Earth.
