“Its strong structure can support heavy weights and round edges making it an ideal table for various purposes for different members at home.
Parents can work on the table while sitting on the sofa, while kids can play and draw on it. It is also perfect for enjoying snacks and coffee while chatting with family members.

The Re-Up collection emphasizes creating, reducing waste, utilizing recycled materials, and uplifting design. To achieve this, not only must the main materials used be made from recycled plastic, but the existing plastic mold must also be reused, as this is normally the highest cost in production. The Re-Up collection is an exciting project that combines the skills and knowledge of plastic materials and processes with wood crafting design, under the circular economy principle.
By reusing the original plastic lamp mold, using recycled plastic materials, and combining them with wood craftsmanship skills, new creations that attract various groups of consumers can be made. The designer's taste is reflected in the work, as they have curated the materials, colors, proportions, and technical details to create new design tables with a variety of choices.
Under the circular economy principle, this design offers flexibility in product variation to meet different functions and preferences, while remaining sustainable in terms of materials and production processes. Its flat-pack ability also makes transportation easier and more energy-efficient. To ensure accessibility, the price strategy is kept affordable.
The designer utilized an existing plastic mold that was previously used for lamps. The mold boasts a beautiful surface pattern inspired by wood carving techniques and is the perfect size to serve as a base for small tables. The designer highlighted this detail by using translucent recycled material and incorporating Thai lathe craftsmanship detail parts creating alternating table heights and joints. The result is stunning craftsmanship, with an international appeal.
