IWAS
OUR STORY
We turn what's discarded into what's desired.
IWAS gives waste a second life. We rescue discarded materials; glass bottles, wood offcuts, worn tyres, spent coffee sacks and transform them into beautiful, one-of-a-kind lifestyle products. Every piece is handcut and handcrafted, carrying the story of what it used to be. Instead of ending up in landfill, these materials become the glass everyone asks about.
HOW WE DO IT
From discarded to desired, in three steps.
01
Rescue
We collect discarded bottles and forgotten materials headed for landfill, giving them a chance at a second life.
02
Reshape
Skilled artisans handcut, sand and shape each piece by hand. No two turn out exactly alike.
03
Reborn
The result is a polished, one-of-a-kind piece.
PEOPLE BEHIND THE PIECES
Handcrafted by artisans, rooted in community.
Now I'm the glass everyone asks about. Shaped by hands that know this craft, in workshops that give local makers steady, dignified work. Every piece is handcut and finished by artisans in the community, so fair wages and honest livelihoods are cut into me right alongside every curve. And because it's all done by hand, no two of us are ever alike.
