Precious Plastic meets Bope

During Dutch Design Week 2019 we were fortunate enough to finally get to know @bope_bopeshop. We invited @terh19 and his wife from Thailand to visit our exhibition.

Since early 2016 they've been using Precious Plastic knowledge and turned it into gold. Creating stunning products and impressive installation around the world.
And by now they're also employing other two people and planning on expanding in 2020.

People like them give us the power and enthusiasm to keep on working stupid hard day-in and day-out at less than minimum wage. For a different future.
⁣Thank you guys!
