Fundamentals Range

The Fundamentals remanufactured clothing range and accompanying wholly transparent system unlocks the latent qualities of undervalued resources. The impetus for this work was the devastating effects of the current linear, 20th century ‘take, make, waste’ fashion system which is the 2nd most polluting industry on the planet. This design system provides a solution to utilize textile and clothing waste through a comprehensive design strategy which includes remanufacturing processes and 3 upcycling techniques; conjoined, spliced and pieced; which could be applied to any given garment.

Holodomor Mobile Classroom

To educate students about the Ukrainian Genocide, Forge helped to transform a bus into a traveling classroom, employing 32 iPads, a MacPro server, two custom-built iPad apps, and an interactive presentation that plays on a giant 24-ft display. The immersive digital classroom experience creates opportunities for students to investigate, discover, discuss and reflect.

Matrera Castle

This medieval tower had partially collapsed in 2013, losing part of its imposing volume and putting at risk the architectural stability of the rest of the tower.
