The Upcycled Jars Collection has been created by the extrude.studio as a range of decor items that incorporate both new and old materials. The collection makes use of old glass jars, which have been accented by a series of 3D-printed toppers to give each of the items a different purpose. Crafted using bioplastic sourced from packaging waste, the toppers are great for germinating seeds, as a paint water holder, a pen holder and more.
The Upcycled Jars Collection conveys an upcycled, highly functional form to work well within any home or even office environment. Some of the designs are available from the studio as part of its digital library to let users print the items themselves from home or their workshop.
