지속 가능한 삶을 디자인하는
그레이프랩
그레이프랩은 환경과 사회문제를 디자이너의 관점에서 바라보고 다양한 실험을 통해 그 해결책을 제시하는 디자인 스튜디오입니다.
버려지는 자원과 우리 사회의 소외된 계층과 관련한 문제를 해결하기 위해 최소한의 자원과 적정 기술을 활용해 지속가능한 디자인 제품을 개발하고 있습니다.
제로 웨이스트
그레이프랩은 버려진 자원을 디자인 제품으로 재탄생 시킵니다. 재활용된 소재를 사용하는 것 뿐 아니라 제품 제작 과정 중 발생하는 자투리 소재들은 카드, 태그, 밴드, 쇼핑백으로 만들어 그레이프랩이 지향하는 제로 웨이스트 문화를 만들어 갑니다.
지속가능한 삶
그레이프랩은 다음 세대를 위한 친환경적인 소비 문화를 만듭니다. 시민들이 참여하는 워크숍을 통해 업사이클링 문화를 확산하며, 더 많은 사람들이 환경 문제에 관심을 가질 수 있도록 돕습니다.
일 할 수 있는 기회
그레이프랩은 우리 사회의 소외된 사람들이 일 할 수 있는 기회를 만들어 갑니다. 장애인들이 자신들만의 재능을 발휘할 수 있도록 플랫폼을 통한 협업 공간을 제공하고 경제적인 수익 역시 만들어낼 수 있는 상생의 구조를 만들어 갑니다.
