CRAFTED FROM THE PAST. DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE.
We design distinctive material surfaces, collaborating across disciplines—from expert manufacturers and waste collectors to material scientists—to bring each piece’s story to life.
ABOUT

We're a modern studio for materials, surfaces, patterns, and objects. We collaborate with manufacturers to transform discarded materials into design-driven pieces that tell a story. Inspired by the overlooked, we shift mindsets and prove that every end sparks a new beginning.
At the intersection of creativity, material innovation, and cultural reframing, you’ll find us: testing, experimenting, and transforming.

GENESIS

In a world where everything’s moving fast and feeling the same, the spaces we inhabit are becoming more and more alike. We’re all craving something real. Something with texture, character, and soul. That’s where WASTD comes in.
We design bold, one-of-a-kind surfaces and objects that bring personality and stories back into spaces. By working with materials that have a history, we turn forgotten items into forward-thinking design pieces that prove sustainability isn’t just smart—it’s stylish.

BEHIND THIS

WASTD is the brainchild of Tingzhi, a material and surface designer with over a decade of experience in fashion, having created materials and patterns for Dior, Alexander McQueen, and Celine, bridging design, production, and supply chains.
After ten years in fashion, I saw the need for a new approach to consumption—one that’s ecological and reconnects us with the objects around us. WASTD isn’t just a studio; we're driving a movement reshaping how we interact with the world we create and consume.
