New product by @morramadesign: @WildRefill is a natural deodorant housed in a case made from #aluminium + recycled plastic, designed specifically for continuous usage: when your deodorant is empty, replace it with a cartridge made 100% of bamboo. Easy peasy!

"Bottle Up" by Dutch studio @superlocal in collaboration with local Zanzibari craftspeople. The outcome is a series of colourful #terrazzo homeware made from cement and discarded glass; the latter a side effect of a booming tourism industry.
