Discarded banners from museums and schools served as the starting point for this project, which aims to transform waste materials into sustainable designs. The concept focuses on creating children’s tents with wooden structures and patchwork canopies made from repurposed banners, combining functionality with environmental consciousness. These tents are lightweight, compact, customizable, and practical, and can be produced both industrially and artisanally, providing employment opportunities for seamstresses and carpenters while promoting sustainability and local craftsmanship.
