Hey, I’m Emre. I was born and raised in Hackney and I’m currently studying Product Design at the University of Sussex.

Sustainability is something I’m passionate about, which is why I chose to repurpose waste materials for this project. The material used is retired climbing rope sourced from climbing centres that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.

By giving this hard-wearing material a second life, I’ve created a product that not only reduces waste but is also built to last.
