Here are some pics of off-site exhibit InDisposed down at 180 Varick Street curated by Surface magazine editor Dan Rubinstein and design writer Jen Renzi. The exhibit challenged designers to create pieces that are made from environmentally sustainable materials, portable, able to be disposed of in a responsible and convenient way, and conceivably able to be mass-produced.
