DB Schenker Upcycling Hub

DB Schenker Upcycling Hub is a lunchroom interior of 400 square metres located in Singapore. The design turns discarded materials into functional features, including a chandelier made of tiles printed from a bespoke filament produced entirely from transparent PET bottles. More than 500 kilograms of single-use plastics were reused in the project. Polystyrene foam from packaging, cardboard from logistic boxes, discarded wooden pallets and recycled rubber flooring were also applied. The aim is to show the potential of upcycling and circular design.

Bipro

Bipro is a smart fitness device designed for home exercise. Bipro uses bi-directional laser projection to display images on both the wall and the floor. The extended interaction space supports immersive indoor fitness for different age groups, from children to older adults. A motion capture system based on computer vision recognizes hand and foot movements. Arm gestures control the on-wall display, while foot movements control the ground display. Users can jump into a marked area to start or continue an activity. The L-shaped body uses the internal space efficiently.
