Field notes
Spacewasp presents a material-recovery and interior-production workflow rather than a conventional design studio: plant waste is described as the input, while interiors, furniture, and building materials are the outputs. The proposed digital process runs from 3D scanning and AI-assisted design to manufacturing after customer approval. The homepage identifies a Gifu headquarters, a Shiga factory, and a November 2022 founding date. It also notes that the service is still under development, with some projects handled through analogue processes.
