2014 年, 服務(wù)香港四十多年的灣仔碼頭被停用和拆下。LAAB 以循環(huán)再生為設(shè)計(jì)概念,把從灣仔碼頭回收的近百支防撞木重塑成不同特式的餐椅,將承載半世紀(jì)香港回憶的碼頭木, 移徏到它的新家T · CAFé《源·茶》, 一個(gè)位于T?PARK《源.區(qū)》的輕食餐廳。整理木材后, LAAB把那些來不及經(jīng)歷海水侵蝕的、面目較為完整的、做成寛闊的桌面、茶幾, 以及此起彼伏的木頭長椅； 把那些千瘡百孔的、布滿歲月痕跡的, 用透明樹脂封化它的本質(zhì)和形態(tài), 做成方形立體的小凳子。這些滿布瑕疵, 久經(jīng)滄桑的碼頭木, 現(xiàn)以另一種姿態(tài)展示它獨(dú)特的歷史價(jià)值。

在2017年，T · CAFé獲得“日本優(yōu)良設(shè)計(jì)獎(jiǎng)最佳100”，并被選為評(píng)審最喜愛的作品之一。

T·CAFé is a self-service light-refreshment café in T. PARK, a sludge-treatment facility and education centre in Hong Kong. We transformed fender woods collected from the demolished Wan Chai Pier into different furniture. These fender woods were more than hundred years old and had been immersed in the harbour for more than forty years.

We categorized fender woods into three types according to their levels of erosion and designated each type for different furniture. The most intact ones were sculpted into dining tables and long benches. The moderately eroded were for coffee tables and short benches. Seriously defaced woods were made into stools and a special furniture of what we called"Ocean Cubes." "Ocean Cubes" preserved the eroded wood with ocean-blue resin. The idea is to return the fender wood into the ocean. Built-in chargers were also installed in the furniture and transformed the salvaged wood into the power supply.

Hong Kong is a highly urbanized and rapidly growing city. With a heavy focus on economic development and consumerism, things in Hong Kong are easily considered as "old" and "wasteful." In this project, we hope to use innovative design to show how “waste” can be transformed into something beautiful and “useful.” We also hope to preserve our collective memory, which is especially precious in a rapidly changing society like Hong Kong.

T · CAFéreceived theJapan Good Design Award Best 100 in 2017 and was chosen as the Jury's Personal Favorite.
