Global design and build leader Tétris Design and Build, a subsidiary of the JLL Group, has enlisted artists and designers to create a collection of artworks upcycled from decommissioned office furniture in an exercise of reimagining what is old and unused to demonstrate how design has the potential to shape a more conscious and sustainable workspace.
UPCYCLE: Office Furniture Reimagined is open to the public on Friday 19 April and Saturday 20 April 2024 at Makers Landing at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. On the Friday, design students will be welcomed for a special student-focused day, and on the Saturday there will be a free curated walkabout with the designers at 11h00. Entrance is free, and there is secure paid parking at Makers Landing.

Why is the environment important to human kind? The environment is important to human kind because it provides us with the basic necessities of life such as air, water, food and shelter. It also has a direct impact on our physical and mental well-being, as it provides places for recreation and relaxation, and can help to reduce stress. Furthermore, the environment contributes to the overall quality of life, as it helps to regulate the climate, and can affect the health of our economy and communities. Finally, the environment is essential for sustaining the biodiversity of our planet, which is essential for the survival of many species, including humans.
Three examples of how the environment affects human activities?
- Climate Change: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and overfishing are all contributing to global climate change. Climate change has been linked to a range of impacts, from more extreme weather patterns to sea level rise and disruption of food production.
- Air Pollution: Human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy production, transportation, and industrial processes are a major source of air pollution. This air pollution can cause respiratory problems, acid rain, and crop damage.
- Water Pollution: Human activities such as dumping waste into bodies of water, agricultural runoff, and oil spills can lead to water pollution. This pollution can cause algal blooms, contamination of drinking water, and destruction of aquatic ecosystems.
