Mathilde Wittock

Deadline : March 16, 2026

As part of the TRY AGAIN? initiative, this open call asks designers to see recovered GSK glass syringes not as waste, but as creative resources.

Co-developed with designer Mathilde Wittock and Duplex, the project explores transforming these industrial components into functional objects, challenging conventions of form, use, and durability.

The goal is to create a reproducible object or capsule furniture collection that integrates these elements with care, transformation, and responsibility.

With production and distribution in mind, the project shows how reuse can drive contemporary creation and innovation by reinterpreting existing resources.
