  • ‘If a factory is torn down but the rationality which produced it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory.’


    — Robert Pirsig


    The Factory for Infinity is the foundation for the creation of future factories that support an ideal system for consumption of products. Using only 100% recyclable (no downcycling) or truly biodegradable materials, we have designed a system of low energy, small-scale manufacturing processes that require old products to make new ones, allowing materials to be recycled infinitely in a local, closed loop cycle. We have embodied the processes in a selection of objects that are frequently downcycled or discarded.
