X-STUDIO: SEGREGATION

ABOUT

X-STUDIO----------------------------------------- X-STUDIO is a studio, shop, office, meeting place, gallery and workshop all in one! The studio would be managed by several people who all carry knowledge and experiences from different disciplines, but who work within design. They would strive to focus on social, environmental and service design as it is what they feel to be the most important and necessary. The designers would be there to inspire others and available to give help with various design issues.

COLLABORATION

X_STUDIO----------------------------------------- X-STUDIO is located in Rinkeby, Stockholm. The reason for this placement is to deal with the social issues that exist. X-STUDIO has the vision of creating a stronger bond between the people living in Rinkeby and Tensta with the rest of Stockholm and vice versa. By using design we want to minimize the segregation and strengthen Tensta & Rinkeby's culture. Hopefully, there would be a joint effort with Tensta Konsthall (a gallery) and Konstfack.
X-STUDIO----------------------------------------- X-STUDIO wishes to collaborate with Ragnsells, a Swedish company managing household waste. The goal would be to receive useful material and objects from Ragnsells containers, which are then used in different projects at X-STUDIO, or used for furnishing the studio. The projects would be set up by the designers for individual and group projects, but also educational design projects for visitors using X-STUDIO. Some material would also be included in the studio rooms. The designers working at X-STUDIO will constantly be seeking sponsorship and donations from various companies. They try to find companies who end up with a lot of leftovers and waste, which we could use and make a positive collaboration. This might end up in a certain X-STUDIO label given to companies, which would symbolize their help and wish to contribute less waste and a more sustainable system.
