Designer Shahar Livne spoke to Dezeen in a live Screentime conversation sponsored by Philips TV & Sound as part of Virtual Design Festival.
The Israeli designer spoke to Dezeen’s founder and editor-in-chief Marcus Fairs about her work.
A Design Academy Eindhoven alumna, Livne conceives and develops conceptual materials in an effort to find new and sustainable design practices.
For her 2017 graduate project, Livne created a clay-like material made from discarded plastics that hypothesised about a future where waste plastic could be mined like a precious material. The project was nominated for the Design Museum’s Beazley Designs of the Year award in 2018.
She has also designed a pair of sneakers made from an alternative leather composed of the wasted fat, bones and blood of animals from slaughterhouses in the Netherlands.
