Scrap Coaster


Xinda Wang, Graduate Industrial Design

Scrap Coaster presents the beauty of unwanted materials that are found within the School of Design. The patterns on the coasters are given by off-cut wood pieces and failed 3-D prints. Inspired by the beautiful cross sections of stones, which are formed when different minerals clash together, I decided to experiment with a similar process to the scrap materials that I collected from the woodshop scrap bins and the graduate studios 3-D printers. They were cast in white plastic, which was found in the GiveTake.
