Interdisciplinary practitioner Alkesh Parmar transforms waste orange peels into a sustainable material, promoting environmental sustainability through traditional craftsmanship and innovative low-tech processes.
By repurposing materials, the London-based studio fosters a deeper connection between people and their immediate surroundings, encouraging them to reconsider their relationship with materials and production methods.
Parmar's project underscores the significance of the passing down of craftsmanship through generations, drawing on the origins of the orange from the Himalayan foothills.
The APeel process allows orange peels to become pliable like leather, showcasing how local materials can challenge conventional Western design practices and promote sustainability.
