PCBeasts
Magnets and Brooches Upcycled Circuit Boards
PCBeasts is a set of mass-produced magnets and brooches made from unusable waste circuit boards. Products where developed in 2004 under Secco, a company focused on products made from waste materials. The project explored electronic waste as a design material by cutting figurative animal forms, using evolution as a metaphor to reflect technological development and its relationship with society. The products were distributed internationally, sold at locations such as MoMA Design Stores in New York and Tokyo, and presented in exhibitions and design publications.
