# Re Ciclos by Culdesac: The Recycled Art of Lladro By Design Crack | Published 2007-03-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-ciclos-by-culdesac-the-recycled-art-of-lladro References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2007/01/18/id-40-2006-re-ciclos-by-culdesac/) & [culdesac.es](http://www.culdesac.es) Culdesac is a Valencia, Spain based design collective with a multidisciplinary approach. Their work ranges from graphic design to product design, and anything in between. Their work recently seems to focus on the [found object](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remli) or the recycled object as means to spark creativity. There are a number of beautiful objects that are crafted around rejects. I will profile a few in the future, to be sure, but today I wanted to mention Re Ciclos. Reciclos is a project developed for [Lladro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-blown) to recycle [ceramic rejects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sungai-carafe) a simpler manner rather than pulverize and reconstitute. This particular project led Culdesac to focus on bells and their intrinsic cone shape to build structures. The work amazes me because their delightful creations require no more than a simple metal clip to assemble. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Found Object Art:** Culdesac's use of found or recycled objects can inspire the art world to create new and innovative pieces with sustainable materials. - **Ceramic Recycling:** Lladro's Re Ciclos project shows that even rejected ceramic pieces can have new life and be repurposed into beautiful, functional designs. - **Sustainable Design:** Culdesac's focus on recycled and repurposed materials provides an opportunity for the design industry to explore sustainable alternatives and reduce waste. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can adopt Culdesac's creative approach to using found objects and recycled materials to create unique pieces while promoting sustainability. - **Ceramics:** The ceramics industry can explore ways to repurpose or recycle rejected pieces, creating new products that align with sustainable practices. - **Design:** Designers can develop new products and structures that utilize found and recycled objects, promoting sustainability and innovative design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Upcycled Home Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures.md) - [Repurposed Studio Scrap Pottery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daon-pottery.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Natural Resource Ceramic Collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicol-morales.md) - [Sculptural Glass Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upglas-collection.md) - [Upcycled Object Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-and-daniel-arsham.md) - [Sustainable Creative Craft Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fyrn-studio-series.md) - [Repurposed Electric Scooter Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emetabolism-collection.md) - [Delicate Basket Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculpture.md)
