Jakron Pouffe

Give Second Chance to the Used Ones In Ali Semiz’s creative reuse process, the denim pant tag labes turn into the pouffes, the hair of paint brush turns into the hair of zebra statue, the motorcycle headlight turns into table lighting, the distaff turns into lighting accessory. During pandemic period, a new initiative was born from Ali Semiz’s hobby and he started to transform used furnitures or waste materials into unique, original, value added design objects. The purpose of Upcycle Design is to create more valuable, high quality and eco-friendly furniture from unwanted, used or waste products and the to help sustainability. From environmental point of view, upcycling and recycling are very important concepts which helps using our sources efficiently. Ali Semiz invites us to remember the emotional tie between the old objects and us. “I couldn’t have wasted anything since my childhood.I love collecting old things and reuse them.In my spare time, I like visiting flea markets , antique shops and auctions. I have great respect for the past and my hobby is to transform used things to value added design objects or furnitures.Recently I realized that it is called; upcycling. If you think about your old things, I am sure you will find the ones that you do not want to leave.Why don’t you give them a second chance?
