The result of a creative practice centered around the exploration of waste materials, ‘Rebirthed Pallet Dine’ is constructed from %100 discarded single-use pallets. The identification of this abundant material source/wastage informed the design's starting point. During the development of the piece and with the support of a Northern Tasmanian Waste Management Group Grant, a broadly applicable process for rebirthing discarded timber has been established. The piece takes a calm minimal form, to offset the unavoidable visual busyness created by the timber lamination system, and the removal of all hard edges explores returning the timber to a more tree like form.
