This is a report about an exhibition called "MARAVEE 2008 RECYCLE".

Re-design is the theme of the exhibition in Torviscosa, a "foundation town" placed in the North-East of Italy, beetween Venice and Trieste.

The ancient tower of this industrial site is the location for showing some eco-design works. A connection is suggeted between the sphere of industrial production and the contemporary themes of waste and re-use.

While looking out of the windows of this 50 meter high tower and watching the industrial archeology of factories which produced an artificial fibre from cellulose, you can see - in opposition - some objects made using creative recycle.

Once again a way to re-think objects in ecological therms.
