Ambra is an interdisciplinary designer, recently graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Design Products. She is currently starting up GoodWaste, a London-based design studio, as well as working on a freelance basis.
Her personal practice can be described as a search for a more circular and sustainable future, seeking a synergy between materiality, desirability and community. Through inquisitive research and playful engagement with materials and processes, she focusses on a more responsible use of resources, while designing objects that question the everyday.
Projects
- GoodWasteGoodWaste proposes a new model of local, circular manufacturing that sources waste material from factories around London and uses it to produce objects that meet local needs. We study the material flows of a particular area as well as the local communities surrounding it, in order to effectively close loops by making useful objects from so-called ‘waste’. The overall project was done collaboratively between myself, Ewan Alston and Rafael El Baz, but within that we had individual object outputs.
