Developing a line of furniture design fabricated with locally found (waste) materials and using local solutions as inspiration. First a research territory must be defines, where there should be a systemic analysis to identify flows of water materials, that will become the basis of the furniture to be designed. The typology and function of the furniture will appear from the same territory, inspired in the furniture created (by necessity) by the local community. The combination of local solutions and local waste resources will generate a series of furniture prototypes.
