We see so many design from our articles, but this one is just touch our heart. Pepe Heykoop Studio in collaboration with tiny miracles foundation has launched a line product called "paper vase cover". What is this paper vase cover? It is a water-proof, flat-pack skin that turns an empty bottle into an aesthetic feature - which was created in collaboration with the pardeshi community of women that live by the very dangerous area of the red light district in Mumbai.

Beside this project, they also have other few projects which aim to pull 700 people from poverty by providing healthcare, education and jobs within 8 years.

Dutch designer Pepe Heykoop (*1984) founded his studio straight after his graduation at the Design Academy Eindhoven, department 'Living'. Both of his graduation projects were showcased at Spazio Rosanna Orlandi, Milan in 2008. 

Pepe's work deals mainly with handwriting and the handmade. He discovers new low-tech techniques in his studio in Amsterdam. This is where the manufacturing of his unique pieces is realized.
