Dilla
Overview:
Dilla emerged from my deep-rooted passion for environmental conservation and innovative design. More than just a furniture concept, it's a sustainable solution that reimagines how we approach everyday household furnishings. By repurposing materials, Dilla transforms waste into a functional, elegant design that speaks to ecological consciousness and modern lifestyle needs.
The core philosophy behind Dilla is simple yet powerful: furniture should be adaptable, environmentally responsible, and accessible. Each piece is crafted to be incredibly versatile, portable enough for urban dwellers, durable enough for long-term use, and designed to minimize environmental impact.
Dilla represents more than a product; it's a statement about the potential of conscious design to create meaningful change, one piece of furniture at a time.
Earthborn palette
Dilla's commitment to merging product design with sustainability naturally guided my color palette selection. Drawing inspiration directly from nature's spectrum, I created a soothing collection of earth-toned hues that complement any home environment effortlessly. The palette's calming influence serves as both the brand identity and a desire for harmonious design.
Symbolism in motion
The supporting graphics capture the distinctive rolling movement of the product while embodying a deeper narrative. Once destined for an endless cycle of non-recyclable waste, the tire finds renewed purpose through transformation. This circular motion symbolizes both the physical functionality of the design and the material's journey from discard to rebirth. The visual language celebrates this dual movement: the literal rolling of the product alongside the metaphorical revolution in the material's lifecycle, creating a visual story of sustainability in action.
Sustainable product design
Dilla reimagines waste as an opportunity with a compact, multifunctional ottoman made from recycled tires and repurposed coffee sacks. The design serves triple duty — providing mobility with its wheel-inspired form, functionality through a hidden storage compartment beneath the lid, and versatility with its style-neutral aesthetic that complements any interior design approach. By transforming industrial discards into sophisticated home pieces, Dilla shows how thoughtful design can extend material lifecycles while creating practical and environmentally conscious products.
