reEDIT’s chess table folds Hong Kong street culture into a public object, using scrap bamboo, milk tea waste, and recycled plastic to turn xiangqi into a social gathering point.
The image shows reEDIT’s bamboo-and-tea-waste chess table, where street culture and material reuse meet.
That fold-up bit is what gets me — public furniture that can be packed away tends to survive longer because someone actually “owns” tidying it up. I’m curious how the milk-tea-waste composite holds up to rain and sun though; is it sealed like terrazzo/resin, or is it meant to patina and be swapped out?
