Furniture/Interior/Product Designer Nina Tolstrup founded StudioMama in 2000 with partner Jack Mama, and over the past 20 years they’ve championed repurposing, repairing and upcycling with a playful and accessible approach to design. They’ve explored the potential for small footprint living in their 13m2 Cab office conversion, and the 40sqm London Townhouse, filling both with bursts of colour and upcycled furniture like their Re-Imagined chairs. Nina and Jack have created collections of animal sculpture from timber offcuts, chairs and lamps from pallets and even designed sustainable, transforming kitchen spaces for Ottolenghi. #upcycling #sustainability #waste Supported by @ScreenAustralia Studio Mama - @studiomama Nina Tolstrup & Jack Mama Produced by New Mac Video Agency Directed by: Colin Chee Producer: Luke Clark Cinematographer: Simon Davies Editor: Jessica Ruasol Edit Assistant: Dayna Fulvio Music: Be Water My Friend by Fold A Moon Walk, Yehezkel Raz Tilia Americana , Shahar Haziz Rowan Hudsons Passing Ships, Pianosa Five to One, Steve Poloni Hypnosis, Skygaze Night Patterns, Florian Sugar, Skipp Whitman Nice to Bit You, Francesco DAndrea First Sunrise, Ardie Son The Last Exile, Nadav Remez Mon Amour, ANBR
