Products out of printed circuit boards

Printed circuit boards, particularly those from computers, show interesting dense electronic patterns, and they come in a beautiful variety of colours: green (which most people know), but also red, yellow, orange, blue, black, brown…

At the trash_design workshop, we transform PC motherboards into wall clocks, and the smaller graphic or sound cards into desk clocks. The foot is an aluminium heat sink. Only the clockwork and the hands are purchased new, externally, and added to the upcycling materials. Smaller pieces can be incorporated in jewellery: pendants or necklaces, earrings and rings.

Completely depleted printed circuit boards become notebooks, key rings, Christmas decoration, or even handbags.
