The innovative new design community, metacycle.ca, is launching a design competition.
What is metacycling?
To metacycle is to prolong the useful life of an obsolete object by transforming it to have a new function.
The metacycle community was created to increase product longevity through design and rapid prototyping technologies. To help nourish the growth of this new community, they are launching a competition that asks participants to choose one of 10 selected objects and transform it into a new, functional and eco-responsible product. The winning concept will be developed by a team of professional designers and a physical model of the concept will be sent to the originator of the idea.
The winner will be free to exploit his or her developed concept as they wish and all commercial rights will remain the property
of the participant under the creative commons noncommercial license.
Below are some innovative solutions selected from the ideas contributed by many metacyclers that have actually been given a second life to old objects by using rapid prototype technology.
