Upcycling:

a nature and an instinct


Look for ideas every day. 

Sometimes bizarre or funny ideas. 

Because upcycling is not meant to be a heavy process but a game. 

Reducing our waste and reusing our containers, yes but not only.


At D-LAB, upcycling means asking for it everywhere, as soon as possible, 

how to perpetuate the cycle, 
how to give a new life, 
how to create and recreate, 
even from very little.


These are the candles that the factory across the street pours for you, in the bottles that you send back to us. 

These small grids will allow you to transform your empty containers into salt shakers or spice jars.  


These old sheets in which we make our protective boots and overshoes, at the factory. 


These chickens that we feed every day with the food scraps of our teams. 

And their eggs that we cook for our guests.  


Upcycling at D-LAB is a game, a nature and an instinct. 


Cherish every object, 

Challenge yourself, 

Thinking in a crafty way, 

To give birth to the unexpected and poetry, sometimes. 

It's an extra soul.
