We Move Mountains

Collecting over 5000 tons of ceramic wastes and turning them into products. After first making bricks and tiles with the new material, many other creative uses have emerged. From just one brick, Yi Design have made brooches, cups, tables, sculptures, fountains, and lighting.

Circular and Regenerative

Architects, product designers and artists are invited to participate in Yi Design's “JUST ONE BRICK” project. The project aim is to highlight the innovative possibilities using this recycled brick material for themselves, advancing design for the community, and for our planet.
