"On-Sorn" is a project based on waste materials from cutting and re-rolling unit for paper and adhesive tape processing; molded wood and industrial cardboard tube which these material are incredibly strong. So we decided to play around and bring value to it by turning it into a stool.

From Industrial Waste
Dessearch identified the surplus materials from the paper factory, namely molded wood and industrial cardboard tubes. Upon studying the leftover materials, it was discovered that they could be repurposed into a highly functional chair. The design is suitable for supporting the weight of users and can be manufactured without the need for machinery. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly as it avoids the use of nails but instead employs a traditional method using twine.
The On-Sorn stool was inspired by Northeast Thailand's wisdom of drum rope tentioning. The unique pattern created by tentioning drum reflex iconic visual as graphic. The rope tention itself hold leather drum face to its structure and tune the sound to your preference.
The result of this project has been showcased at the

Production
All the stool parts are held together by using only rope tensions. Using the technique of rope pulling to tighten the part together; The Molded wood and drilled Industrial cardboard tube being pull together by rope and with metal joint support which helps keeping the angle parallel with the ground create a stable structure for sitting and unique graphic pattern. As for the cushion the pad can be tie up with a rope structure make it easy to removed for cleaning.
Operation
The waste from the factory retains its original durable characteristics, capable of bearing significant weight. Enhanced with a cushioned seat, the user experiences increased comfort. Each piece of material is intelligently connected using traditional village craftsmanship techniques, employing twine to create a crafted and sophisticated look and feel.

Our Process
We aim to reduce waste and enhance the value of existing waste in the factory without subjecting it to processes that create new materials, shapes, and forms, which may contribute to additional waste and pollution in other industries. Instead, we seek to utilize the inherent properties of each piece of waste. By intelligently connecting them through traditional village craftsmanship techniques, we can seamlessly integrate and repurpose them into new products. These products are not only functional for the long term but also easily maintainable, avoiding the need for further recycling.
