irene kusuma and mendy laoda of mortier on “upcycling and green lifestyle” #storyofdesign
……. small things matter. simple steps can lead to a bigger impact on the environment.
we believe that plastic waste issues are not only the homework of big companies or big industries, but every living being on earth has to make their own contribution to reducing waste. two young initiators, irene kusuma and mendy laoda, started their own sustainable story in the crowded capital of indonesia.
laoda and kusuma have always been free-spirited, enthusiastic, and empathetic with their surroundings. hence, rebuilding a healthier environment does not feel like a forced duty for them to accomplish, but rather as a passion for promoting a greener lifestyle.
mortier is a room for sustainable innovation and exploration in materials since 2017. with plastic that is currently being the duo’s main focus, nestled the desire to house all the upcycled and innovative materials — an osculating mission they aim to achieve through time.
with all the cutting, weighing, shaping, flattening, and baking duties, laoda and kusuma have passed many kinds of material explorations focusing on how to transform all these waste into products of higher value. and this is how everything began in mortier.
