Earth’s resources are dwindling and we are facing big challenges according to our planet. We live in a system that is supported by a culture that doesn't reward our nature. BESITT is a design collaboration by Emeli Höcks and Carolina Härdh (Höcks + Härdh). They are questioning the contemporary structures and want to use our knowledge as a tool for change. BESITT is challenging the current structures in the industry and demonstrating new possibilities for a sustainable future.

BESITT is made of waste* and designed to adapt to the natural cycle. Therefore, It can be planted into the soil and subsist forever. It has a framework structure of cardboard and covered with our own created material. A visual consideration to the future.
