In June, the Estonian-Georgian creative collective Garbage Kids – comprising Luka Abashidze, Ulla Alla, and Nika Gabiskiria – will open an exhibition project featuring handcrafted furniture and objects. The driving force behind Garbage Kids’ practice is frustration with a society that prioritizes growth over sustainability and encourages overconsumption in a world with limited resources.

As a response, they create objects from found materials such as broken branches, scrap metal, and stones from abandoned quarries, using traditional craftsmanship and folk wisdom. The exhibition will showcase experimental, one-of-a-kind furniture made from locally sourced materials.

Garbage Kids have previously presented their furniture at the Obscura platform in Tbilisi (2022) and The Why Not Gallery (2024), at Milan Design Week (2023, 2024), the Roma Diffusa festival (2023), and the NADA House exhibition in New York (2024). They also designed the exhibition space and furniture for the Dear Friend show at EKA Gallery (2022).

The exhibition is curated by Sandra Nuut and will remain open until middle of October.
