Who is Trash Made?
Our team consists of a group of artists, designers, producers and a team providing organization of
the collection of discarded electrical appliances. Together we give new life to parts of old appliances
and aim to create products which, even though made from recycled materials, are safe and keep a high
quality and craft standard.
