This Wednesday at 8pm we'll be featuring in Jamie Durie’s latest reality show, ‘Top Design’.
The Channel 9 program’s participants are a diverse group of Australians with a passion for renovation and design. Contestants had a budget to spend at The Bower, selecting items to upcycle in to something else; such as old fridges, bike parts and filing cabinets.
We're chuffed about the prime time exposure the program will bring to The Bower’s ethic of reuse and repair. Reuse and repair is an effective solution to the mainstream issue of waste and limited landfill.
Hopefully the episode will illustrate that just because items may no longer be functional as originally intended, they can still be extremely useful.
One of our core aims has been to advocate for long life design, through the creation of repairable products or inclusion of upcycle possibilities.
We strive to keep reusable items out of landfill and to involve the community in the achievement of these objectives. We hope the show will reach a whole new section of Sydney who will be able to start considering the possibilities of their own unwanted goods before throwing them away in the future.
The Bower episode of Top Design is aired on Channel 9 on August 17 from 8.00 pm.
