Zero-Waste Cabinet of Curiosity

The Lectorate Design aims to nurture and promote a robust research culture within KABK and via the channels that connect it with Leiden University. The central theme of the Lectorate is Design and the Deep Future as a means to explore the relationship between design and expanded timescales in the context of the climate crisis.

In 2019, students of the KABK Interior Architecture & Furniture Design BA (Class of 2019/2020) conceived, designed and built a research space adjacent to the KABK canteen to provide a visible hub for research activities and the display and exchange of research methods, processes and outputs.

Their concept, a 'Zero-Waste Cabinet of Curiosity', is a collection of materials, archiving methods and information intended to inspire curiosity and provoke debate about waste. All the waste materials used in the construction of this space were sourced from the KABK.
