ZERO: Eröffnungsschau der Designgalerie auf Flag Island, Sharjah, VAE. Arbeiten aus recycelten und nachhaltigen Materialien von lokalen Designern, 11. März - 23. Mai 2015.
Apr 2015"ZERO" is the inaugural exhibition at 1971 Gallery Space, Maraya Art Centre’s new non-profit design gallery on Sharjah's Flag Island. The exhibition presents newly commissioned projects by local designers working with eco-friendly materials. The designers were selected through an open call launched in partnership with Bee'ah, in January 2015. UAE-based designers and architects were invited to submit proposals for design projects that use recycled or sustainable materials which have only a limited impact on the environment. The call out was open to designers working in any field, from interiors and installations to research.
The title is taken from the ambition of Bee'ah waste management centre in Sharjah to achieve a state of ‘zero waste’, where nothing used goes into landfill, it rather becomes energy or new material.
Thirteen winners were selected from around forty applications:
Abdalla Almulla
Ali Al Sammarrie
Ammar Kalo
Annarita Cornaro & Valerio de Divitiis (Codesign)
Christine Yogiaman & Ken Tracy (YO_CY)

The designers demonstrate how the detritus of daily life in the UAE, such as cardboard tubes, old tyres and plastic bottles can be transformed and given a new existence as furniture, shelters and installations. Taking their inspiration from organic and cultural sources, from desert plants to indigenous architecture, and developing innovative techniques, these designers offer a vision of a sustainable future.
