What really stood out for me though was the work of Jingbei Zheng, an independent designer who founded her own Sweden-based studio in 2017, during her Master program at Lund University.

‘Rebrush’ is a renewable kitchen cleaning set, offering an enjoyable cleaning experience for users without environmental impact. Inspired by this natural and traditional material loofah, REBRUSH explores new possibilities in its modern utility. With an easily assembled loofah head, users can replace only this part to avoid complete product waste. I really love the jewelry-like handles giving the brushes a minimal look that I love.
