ReMake it Meaningful 2014.9.29 ~ 11.2
Generally we discard packaging material once we open a product without giving any afterthought. We wondered, is it possible to create something meaningful out of these materials?
Samsung invites you to design something new that brings creativity and meaningful value to our lives. From a small prop, to furniture, or something beyond our imagination - we want to see what your hands can create. Come and join the festival and demonstrate your talents as a designer!
