DIY MATERIAL KITS Program
MA Eco-Social Design Semester
2025/26 WS KV Yarn began as an experiment in sustainable fibers and became a sensory jewelry material instead. Light, scented, tactile, and biodegradable, it transforms coffee waste into wearable accessories, inviting users to touch, smell, and rethink what “waste” can become. With our diy-kit you get to create your own contemporary jewelry and makeup/fashion-accessory, so you can wear your morning coffee.
