Rimaflow in dialogue with Jerszy Seymour Design Workshop and Macao.
New World Projects is a mattress made from recycled foam blocks wearing a smiley face for an optimistic outlook. It serves as a symbolic prototype for the possible creation of a utopian industry, which will be discussed during the radio program of Life on Planet Orsimanirana as an ongoing project between Rimaflow, the workers occupied factory in Milan, Macao and Jerszy Seymour Design Workshop.
Rimaflow is a social cooperative on the outskirts of Milan established in 2012 with the occupation of the Maflow car parts factory by its workers who had been made unemployed after production had moved to other countries with cheaper labour. Rimaflow now functions as a decentralised worker controlled factory for reuse and recycling, and center for social activism and solidarity.
