I passionately transform
waste into useful,
future-proof products and services. My aim is to design and create new and
wiser processes and objects for a better today and tomorrow. I consider myself a visionary, future-orientated concept designer and multidisciplinary maker. I love positive changes!
Mayari’s real objective is using less virgin materials by making most of what we already have while putting as few CO2 into the air as possible.
Precisely, Mayari’s method and speciality is: reusing, altering, recycling waste i.e. things we don’t need anymore (a
habit most of today’s
consumers are not used to anymore) for making new, useful and
responsible products and services (a concept that we really should get familiar with and - much more importantly -
implement if we want to keep our planet’s
natural diversity).
Using Mayari’s products and services may mean seeing and doing things
differently than we are used to see and do them. Therefore, Mayari may challenge - but also surprise you. I hope you like nice surprises!
What do I believe in?
—
reduce, reuse, recycle, (
re*create - recycling by responsibly altering/remixing/reusing waste)
— the
cradle to cradle principle when creating entirely new things (
effectivity rather than
efficiency)
— what goes around comes around i.e. karma, the
mensch (
respect and
responsibility)
— top service, good relationships, equal giving and taking (building
trust)
— being honest and trying to live ones dream (keeping
transparency and
authenticity)
— cherishing the curious and playful child in each of us (adventure, effort, laughter, pain,
happiness)
further
— either
low-tech and carbon neutral (crafts)
— or
high-tech and energy efficient (electrictronic or highly complex objects/services)
—
intellectual,
emotional and
handy designs
—
think globally, act locally
— a balance between
leadership and
co-creation
—
Swiss quality and
longevity
—
Social Businesses and
The Girl Effect
