Fugitive Glue “UP-HOARDING” Lights up Toronto Design Week 2012

During Toronto’s Design Week 2012, Fugitive Glue turned the spotlight on “up-hoarding” – a term coined by the collective to describe their own unique approach to creating new and exciting objects out of the old.
As the term suggests, UP-HOARDING is a process that combines the collection aspect of hoarding and the creation aspect of up-cycling with the key aspect of pre-meditation, to engineer a practical method of turning waste into new and useful objects:

1) We find and recognize the waste object that is available in
large quantities

2) We develop the product design that is practical, long-lasting, aesthetic, and affordable

3) We collect the waste product to be re-manufactured and re-commissioned into public lighting, street furniture, fountains, cooking utensils and more...

4) We only use low-impact, ecologically-responsible manufacturing processes
