Designers give new life to old materials in Xinjiang

Three designers pose with their works that are made from old auto parts and construction materials at a studio in Hutubi county, Changji Hui autonomous prefecture, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The three designers quit their jobs in Guangdong province, Beijing, and Hunan province to jointly launch their start-up in the county, focusing on works that integrate recycled materials with Xinjiang’s local culture. All fans of Transformers, they have created works that move, blink eyes or wag tails. The designers say they want their work to promote innovation and environmental protection.
