Explore This Amazing WorkUrban Furniture Collection
Urban was created by Luciana Duque through the concept of upcycling. This concept is one of the main target of the artist through this collection which transforms the use of these metal sheets giving new value through its usefulness and quality. With this aim, the challenge was to create furniture by exploring new possibilities of a material that until today has only been used for a single purpose, rolling shutters. By using these metal sheets, made of galvanized steel, it was able to create curves and shapes that are rarely used in furniture.

Winner Designer
Luciana Duque
Luciana Duque's trajectory as a designer has always been related to the use of natural raw materials, such as wood, steel, glass and fabrics in the production of furniture and objects, in a way that would preserve the environment. At that moment, she came across an enormous amount of leftovers, which aroused his attention to the concept of upcycling. It also came the possibility of creating specific lines, sculptures and objects with the reuse of those materials. This concept in her vision is the design of the future, where people will come increasingly and more with the reuse of materials. It is really important for people to have conscience of the environment preservation.
