Waste is Material
The WA=MA brand focuses on a series of products that are crafted from discarded waste. In the collection, pieces have refreshing new aesthetics, are playful and functional, and are designed for life.
British-born Hong Kong artisan Rickie Cheuk is a Materials Explorer who enjoys exploring peculiar ways of making. He practices circular design by producing objects using waste materials from different industries. With a background in Architectural Studies at University College London and Drawing Methodologies from The Slade School of Fine Arts, Rickie uses different media to convey his passion for making with materials.
