Against The Grain - Documentary Film About Furniture Maker Sebastian Cox

as a really young child wants to be an inventor no one ever really explains what that would be as a career so I channeled all of my energy into making but I've had this realization that I was entering a career where we're making more stuff in a world that's full of stuff and how do you go about answering that [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] Aqua front Woodland I couldn't have asked for a better childhood in many respect I was always Outdoors [Music] this is a particularly cool tree this tree is an ash tree which was struck by lightning I don't know when I was about 11 when we sort of first moved here and you can see the spiral crack going up here it's a really beautiful tree [Music] if Seb was left to his own devices he would be nestled in the root of a tree somewhere in amongst moss and leaves making beautiful wooden things [Music] to me he represents a contemporary Twist on tradition [Music] and a fantastic sort of Soul he's Bound in his material he's Bound in nature you know he is absolutely a Craftsman he's built a successful workshop on Bloody hard work and you know great intelligence is manage businesses about more than furniture their practice is about conscious sustainable use of local Timbers and that's quite distinctive he feels that sustainability should be the primary focus of any designer and that if you're going to design and produce an object you have to be ecologically and environmentally mindful otherwise you're just contributing to a problem one of these Prime drivers when I very first met him was you know I want to save British Woodlands and craft is my methodology [Music] sending my dad takes quite seriously the idea of being a custodian of that piece of land and that's something that I've taken really seriously and kind of like really actively manage that space so if we were to do this that could be quite nice to go up to the bottom of the ramp there and then we've got one year a later year and then the mature stuff here and then we could plant up in here we could actually make this denser okay [Music] I grew up around a lot of making my parents ran a business storing medieval buildings and so I spent a lot of time in and around Timber frames and their Carpenters would carve scarf joints and Bridal joints with chainsaws and so the smell of Green Oak takes me back to being four or five years old and kind of experiencing that which is quite a long way the kind of grandest of the houses here I have really strong memories of coming here as a kid um spending a lot of time here with my parents kind of observing the buildings and stuff when it was about three or four my parents restored this incredible medieval house and I remember one of these which is called the crown post I don't know seeing it is really um brings back a lot of memories actually because it's pretty special piece of Timber Frame structure and you don't see them very often thank you this is constructed with pegs and Morrison Tenon joints so there's no glue in this and this will last for 500 or a thousand years you know because of its construction and because of the materials it's made from if it's kept properly when I think of this place and what it represents this whole kind of era of making and designing things it represents just enough and I think those are the words that I really think of when designing contemporary furniture is that idea of like just enough material just enough effort and just enough thought to make it a kind of really beautiful but long-lasting thing which has a much lower impact by not being gratuitously over designed or using expensive for you know rare materials there's a kind of humbleness about that which is just so timelessly beautiful [Music] I don't think there was any kind of major spark moments but there are small stories that I remember from my childhood [Music] I have really evocative memories of when the charcoal burners came down to the wood these guys came into the Woodland coppistan area built the charcoal burning stacks and then stayed camped in the woods for two weeks while they burned [Music] the wood was filled with low smoke which just hung between the trees and the sunlight sort of shone through in this stunningly beautiful way and that became a moment where I saw it as a working place and potential resource [Music] there are definite kind of moments of my childhood which came together and ended up making me do what I do now [Music] but I probably didn't appreciate quite how strongly those things would come together in my career [Music] I studied Furniture Design and craftsmanship at Lincoln University I got terrible a levels and just about scraped into the course and I was 20. I remember the first day and I remember using a hand saw to cut through a piece of Beach and I remember thinking I could do this for the rest of my life [Music] there was a brilliant module called personal design Direction and that was where the tutors encouraged us to kind of really find out what it is that we're about and actually then how do we then Express that in something [Music] I saw that as like a real opportunity to express principles other people were sort of like oh I like these aesthetic things but for me it was actually I discovered this guy called William Morris and William Morris and John Ruskin and others kind of pioneered this idea of reacting against the Industrial Revolution they were trying to address significant social problems that were coming through as a result of changes in society thank you there was a focus and an emphasis on Craft on tradition and what had come before on re-examining materials and when I started reading things about sustainability and then started reading things about Morris I kind of thought it is so relevant today Morris was the rock star for me my bedroom at University was decorated literally from skirting board to ceiling with scraps of William Morris fabric which I bought off eBay it was a bit weird I've just remembered that I have this vision of myself with my friend Ross in a nightclub in Lincoln and I was smoking a pipe that I'd whittled from a branch from a plum tree and I just thought I was the perfect picture of William Morris um that was funny there was a really pivotal moment where my tutor said if you really care about sustainability why would you make anything at all you know really what you're making is just potential landfill anyway kind of left I was like oh it's almost giddy with like disappointment this realization that I was entering a career where ultimately we're making more stuff in a world that's full of stuff and how do you go about answering that if you really do care about sustainability foreign [Music] I think becoming a dad has made Seb think about and look at the future more keenly and with a more critical eye having a child has been a really I mean it's an amazing experience any parent will tell you that but for me there's also been this idea that everything that we're doing we're going to be on one day answerable to her it really compounds the whole question of why you're doing why you do what you do how it impacts the world and actually if it's degrading the world you're just degrading your children's future [Music] I did some research into it and I learned that 90 of the wood that we use in the UK is imported and we grow 2.8 million hectares of Woodland and that was a moment where I thought there's a problem there that needs to be addressed foreign [Music] I remember a lot of reporting about how bamboo was this new super material and people talked about it being like renewable fast growing and they said because it's a grass when you cut it it regrows without replanting and I remember thinking I don't know what that's copper sink that's possible here [Music] thank you I had this big idea to make contemporary furniture from copis Hazel which kind of seemed obvious to me because I'd grown up around coppice wood [Music] I was really Keen to not use Dad's wood because I didn't want it to be a project which could be only done by people who have family who own Woodland [Music] so I approached the forestry commission and I did it through those channels outside of that I really wanted to make sure that it was this idea of anyone being able to do this thing [Music] it is important that creative makers like Sebastian have a way of communicating widely and telling people about the benefits of sustainable Woodland use how Timber can come from a woodland like this and can be turned into beautiful things how you replace what you take away and how you can apply that in everyday shopping situations not just for high-end furniture [Music] competing is a traditional method of Woodland management where you harvest trees every seven to twelve years and it was carried out because you would get straight renewable strong wood [Music] before we had Plastics it was what everyday objects were made of baskets tool handles you name it it was made from coppice wood oops this is a Hazel tree and this is a coppist Hazel tree you can see at the base there that's a root system that's probably 150 200 years old but what's above the ground is only three years old and that's the kind of magic of this particular tree [Music] most people who would walk past this would think it was just a shrub but when I look at this I see hundreds of years of kind of knowledge craft skill and sustainability all tined up in a tree the idea that cutting trees down gives them new life is something which most people don't understand but when you when you start to understand those two things this becomes very exciting there are certain species that literally rely on copacing which is kind of an extraordinary thing that they actually rely on a kind of human process yeah like the Nightingale for example needs kind of scrub it can't there's nowhere for it to nest in a mature Woodland okay the big idea is that design can offer an economic use of the wood that we have here and then that kind of just broadens out into this idea that if we interact with nature in the right way we can still make money from it and benefit the habitat which is exactly how we we should build civilizations around the idea that we live with our habitat we don't destroy it we actually make it Thrive and we just find ways to work with it [Music] you did that brilliant simple thing of looking at the thing right in front of him and noticing it noticing that no one else was noticing it and recognizing its importance foreign and he found a way to use that material and make it desirable again [Music] not many people within the design world that we occupy had really focused on how what we do as Craftsmen can directly affect the sustainability of British Woodland [Music] there is lots of rustic furniture made from coppice wood but actually taking that and applying it to contemporary design was at the time new [Music] one of the products that I've launched out of University was called my rod desk lamp and it was basically a process that I discovered in the workshop by playing with green coppist wood where I was scraping the fibers and pressing them into this kind of bird's nest shape [Music] I don't think I really understood it bluffed it people went wild for it I took that to a show in London at the London design Festival and completely unexpectedly sold 24 pieces to a shop in Paris for immaculately dressed Parisian women came over and were chatting to each other in French pulling my products around turning things upside down and then they asked for a price for the lamps and I hadn't even worked that out so I made a price up in my head and it was way too cheap and confirmed the order and I had to make them for that price but it was a pretty important lesson in business he came to my notice with the student chair I was then judged for the wood Awards and it was an entry and I loved it and that's how I first met him I wanted to create a chair that had a very contemporary look but was made with this really traditional material of coppist Hazel he blatantly went out with this kind of textural Unfinished look he simply presented it in the Raw naked it was his first sort of a defining piece I think and what has gone on to inform an awful lot of his later work [Music] the Oak and Hazel sideboard was kind of the next significant piece that was a collaboration with heels heels are really well established retailer and they go back to 1810 and so to have an opportunity to collaborate with them was amazing thank you [Music] one of the greatest commissions I've had ever was from Sir Terrence conran to make a desk but it wasn't an ordinary desk it was actually a cocoon with a desk inside so it was kind of this woven outer shell and you open the hinge doors and then you went [Music] shown in the VNA which I was only kind of three years into my career I couldn't have dreamed of showing there [Music] looking back I'm still really surprised at how quickly things happened in the early days of the business I finished University moved to London shortly afterwards and before I knew it I was taking on members of staff I don't want to see one of my proudest of it's probably the kind of building of a team [Music] building a business where people want to come to work and make nice things [Music] and I think it's so important to offer an opportunity for people to come and learn in the workplace and tell them that they can have a career making with their hands [Music] couldn't do what we do without our team and sometimes I worry that we're in a precarious position because I think if we lost any things would really change they're all really critical we're a really smart business we'd probably be dividing the labor in the workshop by now we probably have some people that work in the mill processing the wood some people assembling some people finishing but that was against the principles of the Arts and Crafts movement Morris didn't like that about the Industrial Revolution so I'm very proud that people when they make a piece of furniture in here they do it from start to finish we have an apprentice called Indira who's just finishing her third year apprenticeship when Indira joined within about three or four weeks had her making pieces of furniture and she would make it again and again until she got it right so we threw her in at the deep end it's a really good environment to be in everyone gets on really well everybody actually really has a passion for the job you don't get that everywhere very nice yeah very nice and is that oh good yeah yeah that's absolutely fine she's grown in confidence hugely hugely she's got a really good eye for Quality I think she's got a long and a very promising future making stuff and maybe designing stuff too I think Seb is a modern William Morris I don't want a lecture about William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement but they should at least know that he's pretty important in why we're all here and if they're interested in finding out why who this guy is on the wall then they can research that it's a big part of his philosophy that you take on a project when you start it and you finish it you look at the end and it's like I made that I did that and that's really nice [Music] every now and again you get these incredible commissions come through and a really favorite memorable one of the last couple of years was for the outgoing CEO of Burberry Christopher Bailey it was a leaving gift for him and it was supposed to be a big surprise we didn't have very long to do it which kind of created this amazing Buzz around it and one of the things that I wanted to do within the commission was work directly with Indira to have this Legacy of passing it on so we made it together [Music] spent quite a lot of time and effort scouring the timber yards of the UK looking for an oak tree that was planted in 1856 which was the year that Burberry began as a closed company the brief was that we had to create a box that would house a number of different gifts from a number of wildly exciting celebrities A-list celebrities this box had secret compartments it had moving Parts it had three locks I think to get into different elements different parts of it it was a massive challenge particularly within the time frame but I absolutely love technical challenges like that it was such a fun thing [Music] and then we got it done and it got presented to him at the this big dinner and it's now in his house and it was actually really great to learn afterwards that it took him the best part of two weeks just kind of going through and sort of discovering and then he wrote this wonderful handwritten letter to say how much he'd enjoy going through it and commissions like that are amazing [Music] yeah the way we currently work as a business is we bring wood in as a solid raw material and we process it in a very traditional way part of the limitation of working with wood is that it's an extractive process I wanted to find a way which we could create objects using an additive process so you only put as much as you need in or better still you put a bit in and it grows [Music] mental work he's been doing with mushroom mycelium has real potential because it's a new form of growing Furniture rather than making furniture [Music] so we're in our lab a space that we added recently and in here we are growing lights [Music] it's re-utilizing and recombining waste materials into something that's functional and yet fully biodegradable we are taking wood waste and we are in troducing that to mycelium fungus and the mycelium grows Through the Wood waste and in doing so binds it together well that is good that is a really nice clean growth and we take that to a point where before it completely rots the wood waste away we form it into a shape and then dehydrate it and in doing so we produce forms like this light this is literally wood chip bound together with mushroom fiber foreign they're quite formidable organisms and I feel when I'm in here working with it the only way that you can act and behave around this stuff is like incredibly respectfully because it's [Music] um yeah you're working with something you don't fully understand kind of thrilling in that detail just look at that I consider mycelium an opportunity for use in terms of fitting and sort of foam filling there's so many endless uses for this material we've just got to work out the different ways in which you can kind of refine it and process it [Music] when I started my business my big idea was that I would use coppice wood to make contemporary furniture but it became apparent quite early on that doing that was going to be challenging because copies wood doesn't grow much bigger than a couple of inches [Music] finding a supplier who could scale the idea of copper seeing using more broad sustainable Forest management methods was pretty important whoa yes look at that whoa you can smell the cedar that is amazing and I think it's it's a really important mission to highlight that right here in England and the rest of the UK we have trees which can produce beautiful wood you know wood which equals some of the more famous tropical Hardwoods which are now in danger and have been over exploited this Timber yard is one of the few Timber yards that we use who actually Source Mill and really really understand everything from the forest management through to the selling of wood knowing that we can come here and get wood which we trust the provenance we know that we can find out exactly where it's come from it's absolutely fundamental to the running of our business in the UK I think people only really know kind of a couple of species they might know Oak and they'll probably know Pine is a kind of General group of trees but we try to tell the story of the whole Spectrum we used anywhere in the region of kind of 15 to 20 Woods which can be Ash Beach Hazel horn beam Sycamore London plain we get amazing opportunities to work with kind of exotic Woods that maybe have been planted here that grow here well like you know maybe eucalyptus or wellingtonia but there's so much more to wood than just Oak and I think that's one of the things that we try to really champion I always loved the conversation in the workshop where we're maybe using a new word so George will go and plane something up and then I'll say oh what was that what was that red oak like or what was that eucalyptus how did it planes it flexible does it Sandwell does it take the Finish is it open grain in terms of their properties we generally can make most things with most species I think when you're really getting into the to the finest qualities of the properties of wood that's more structural and we can make a table from Oak or or Birch even which is not particularly strong word but what we would do is change the design of the table to fit the material foreign [Music] this is English lime it's a beautiful wood for carving that's why we've selected it for these pieces for housing work because what we're doing is going to give this beautiful kind of adds to texture it doesn't have much of a distinct kind of grain pattern it's not like ash which is really linear it kind of has this very carvable surface the inner lime is a lovely word it's quite often overlooked by furniture makers I think we totally accept blemishes like this that's kind of part of the beauty of it when that's set into this hand-worked texture that's going to be something that will really stand out as kind of the natural world having its say in the piece which would be nice [Music] thank you first cut side redstone [Music] worth is an art gallery and they've just launched a new part of that Gallery which is about making and I've been asked to make some pieces for a show which is called make using New pieces new body of work which kind of is an exciting brief to receive to kind of do something completely new so um I'm indulging my love of my craft foreign in some respects this is where we start to get into dare I say it art it doesn't consider function first so there's a table with a pretty uneven surface although I am doing my best to leave a flat spot by each indentation almost a mesh of flat spots so that you could still put stuff on this table functionally [Music] but really it's an object just for the sake of expressing process yeah it sounds like a bit indulgent doesn't it [Music] I guess it's like a Chef cooking his or her favorite dish just for the pleasure of it [Music] six nine this is the line right yeah I was gonna ask what you thought first of all about what we've done so far I think when it comes to the design of furniture I temper Sebastian's love of the weird and the wonderful do you think there's too much High spot here or do you think we should have them kind of more honeycombey like this I was thinking actually high spots are going to be really good because if it is a table you're still going to put a cup of tea down hey what have we have you tested it not really no like I think it's fine what do you think about knots should I ignore them and just cut straight through them yes okay so I wouldn't I wouldn't interact with them by going around them that feels quite contrived okay cool all right I like it that it's cutting really nicely did you sharpen it loads hold wrists [Music] broken see this table whoa that looks amazing good I definitely think it needs an undercut I don't want those to be the same because you'll see a little bit more of the frame by just taking that up you'll see a little bit more of the underneath from this height I think that's quite important no I knew that Bergen was really good fit for me she's really creative and I need someone who can stand up to my bold statements about the way the world should be or whatever and she challenges me on those things which is really brilliant keeps me really well centered look here there's a split and I can you see that yeah if we put an undercut onto that depth then that'll hide that visually that's literally the only reason and also I just think the top needs to be a bit lighter no I think that's crap managing service like um hanging on to the back of the firework [Laughter] s when I use the phrase Hedgerow hurricane that's like the Whirlwind of Nature and pattern and material that is literally whipping around the inside of his head of about containing that thrilling excitement and drive and channeling it in the right ways I am a perfectionist to an extent but I know furniture makers who take Perfection to a level beyond what I'm interested in sort of degrees to which you can work and I'm not really interested in operating in that zone of absolute perfection because I think our values lie elsewhere pretty happy with that texture going around the corner and I love that [Music] this is the last few centimeters of surface to carve a really pretty to the result I'll be pleased not to have to pick this chisel up again tomorrow morning I think I must have been carving for 16 hours [Music] yeah quick piece of that [Music] thank you foreign [Music] for me is that we can't sell what we're doing to everyone there's an affordability barrier of more Progressive socially conscious Crafts People and craft thinkers and the most famous of those would be William Morris people that made the objects in Morrison CO couldn't ever afford to have those objects in their own homes and he he talks about which I think is a brilliant phrase he says I'm I'm forever ministering to the swinish luxury of the rich no matter how efficiently we try and produce things they're still not available to the broader section of people you know people can buy some things from us but what we make is still expensive [Music] the nature of the business is it has to be expensive it's not expensive just for the sake of it it's expensive because of the material and because of the time and skill invested in it so I'm constantly thinking about how we can get around that how can we make what we do available as broadly as possible [Music] [Applause] we're approached by a Furniture retailer called made.com and we spent a long time discussing whether that was the right thing to do we felt very conflicted about the idea because they are Manufacturing in China and it would be impossible to make that from British wood so our sort of core principles that we set up with were being questioned by this opportunity but the driving feeling to want to engage with people more broadly than we can with our Workshop in southeast London really made me want to do it and I don't think I'll be Satisfied if far Furniture is only available to a small group of wealthy people nobody can doubt at this point Sam's authenticity nobody there is no doubt I know him really well and I have 100 faith that he does what he does with total integrity then there's a business challenge because the entire said Cox business is built on that authenticity it's it's what people believe in and so would there be a challenge that people would stop believing in it [Music] some people might think we've sold out [Music] which is quite hard to deal with I feel like I'm a person of principle so I really want to maintain the respect of people who liked what we did at the beginning he's going to have to guard he's going to be the steward of making sure that Sebastian Cox principles can go all the way through that mass production process right back to the sourcing of the material and that's going to be hard very difficult maybe impossible within the mass manufacture more democratic end of the market there is good design and increasingly an effort to make things more sustainably [Music] but I think that when the only objective is driving down price other things have been compromised I think it's really important that we question whether that really you know if it really even if it's a lovely design and it's only 20 quid should it exist still because if it's not made sustainably then that's damaging for everyone what we need to do is to make sure that in mass production situations it's understood that sustainability should be the driving thing so all of the materials that are going into those production situations come from places that can prove that they were sustainably produced like here is about as close as you get to having an answer to that because they are doing the sustainability bit they're using in some cases good materials if affection and sort of a lot of the things about the Arts and Crafts movement that we're trying to be solved have been solved shame they don't show more of that wood structure in the actual interior of the building this set of steps kind of beautifully made solid Beach 35 quid and to all intents and purposes this kicks all boxes of sustainability and sort of modern production you know it's a sustainable resource it's kind of really nicely made it's really solid that'll last physically that'll last for many many years and I've got one at home and for me like this sort of Simplicity this unfinished look for 35 quid is is the essence of what Ikea does really really well and I think that's the challenge that craft faces how can you compete with furniture that functionally works really affordably but maybe that's the opportunity the grass has because it's just something missing from it which doesn't set my heart on fire there is a potential conflict between the idea of mass production and sustainability they do a lot right but it's when you come to this bit at the end of your shop it Dawns on you the quantity of stuff that's full in the wrong hands potential landfill really the only way that true sustainability can be achieved find ways of getting sustainable ideas and practices into Mass Market thinking about provenance of what we use in our daily lives thinking about the environmental impact of goods being shipped around the world possibly multiple times at different stages of production and thinking actually I don't want to be part of that anymore thinking about the labor conditions of how something's been made and then also connecting back to the story of materials and how something's been made so all of those factors are combining to puts attention and Spotlight on Craft so before we agreed to do the collaboration with made.com we insisted on being able to see the factory and it was really important that the material was sensibly sustainably sourced [Music] [Music] they don't take designers to their Factory typically they said you know we were the first designer to have asked to go and see the factory and so they facilitated that and what I found when I was there was a workshop that looked a lot like mine it's not quite like our Workshop in the sense that they don't maybe make an item from start to finish there is divided labor thank you obviously the pieces aren't made from British wood and obviously they are brought over in a shipping container from the other side of the world but I think we've done it right as much we can so for example we're using American app which is a highly sustainable material it's really abundantly available and none of the pieces being flown anywhere it's all being transported by C in large containers which helps mitigate the carbon we're using Rattan that's grown in China so there's a sense of the kind of local within the design I feel like we've done everything we can to kind of create something which tries to readdress that idea of producing stuff in the East and selling it in the West first and foremost I would like consumers to think sustainable wood it would be icing on the cake if they also said we'd like that sustainable Timber to come from the UK that would be superb it would support the management of Woodlands like this it would cut down the carbon footprint of transporting goods around the world but sustainability and sustainable Forest management is primarily an international thing not just a British sleep I've started to feel very emotional about the idea of sustainability actually it's something which really deeply matters my kids future I believe lies within what we do and as individuals and as organizations and businesses so we're planting a nice mix of Hedgerow trees which will hopefully provide habitat you can see this part of the Hedge here is really thick and dense and that's really good for nesting Birds but this bit's a bit thin so rather than planting a woodland which is what I would kind of like to do we're gonna just plant a really nice thick hedge [Music] and what we're doing is increasing the biodiversity of this area these are very young saplings maybe only a year old so we've got Hawthorne Hazel dog Rose Crabapple Blackthorn and Birch [Music] and we're also going to put some seeds down today of a wildflower called yellow rattle in a way and it was I'm curious to say it like this but they're not a Furniture Company they're a company that is trying to change our thinking and use and relationship with the environment that's their starting point that's the question they continue to ask themselves is how do we do that and they do that through what they know best which is furniture thank you [Music] all of the dust that we produce we pour them in the top and the Machine uses only heat and pressure and it compresses it into these really nice burnable briquettes and someone's using this instead of coal or gas or whatever else they might be burning to generate heat for their house this is better than Grid electricity so we're actually offsetting waste against fuel then you get a much lower carbon footprint for the piece that you're making so this is a really important part of what we do actually managing your waste so it's not just making beautiful things and kind of using sustainable materials but actually thinking about what happens to the byproduct it's really important I really hope that as a species we learn to live within our means there are some Bleak predictions about what the world will be like in this Century which we've only just started forestry England right now you know we're recognizing we're in a climate crisis and we've got to take action today which plans for the next 100 200 years we're all about resilience and having Woodlands which can cope with environmental change there will be environmental change we can't stop that degradation in the natural world you know it's a truly Global problem it's one of the few things that unites absolutely everyone in every single country [Music] it's not a problem to say to the world we need to consume less we do need to consume less the you know 50 years time the world can't continue consuming the way it does mass production will still be there and at that point I would hope and we will push for mass production being a much more sustainable thing actually it weighs really heavily on him [Music] it's inspiring a really exciting kind of surge of energy into trying to change that yeah he's interested in transforming consumer Behavior to become more conscious more environmentally aware more considered and the only way we're going to do that is if we consume better things consume fewer things and really think about where those things came from and what impact they had on the world at the point of their production [Music] storytelling is is a great medium it's one that can connect with a bigger slice of the population everyone remembers from being a kid the really engaging story about wild places all of that connects people with green space and can connect them with messages about looking after it better treating the planet a bit better and making good choices about what you buy and what you choose to take into your home but I'm optimistic and I think that we have the technology to change all of the damage that we're doing I worked out the other day we've as a business since we've been running sucked up and stored something like 250 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere made into Furniture in people's homes [Music] every designer should take some sort of Hippocratic oath to not make landfill [Music] But ultimately everything that's in a landfill site has been designed by someone it's apparent that we will always consume stuff we will always be makers of things we will always love objects [Music] they just have to be less harmful thank you [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] thank you
