Can retired inflatable pools be transformed into practical, artistic designs?

OOAK by Mylle

Collaborating with Mylle to minimize their waste stream, Studio Howard led the design of the OOAK Collection, reimagining the previously loved vinyl pools as stunning, high-end products. The designs were brought to life at Portland Garment Factory (PGF), a zero-waste creative fabrication studio, where the discarded inflatable pools were expertly cut and assembled into beautifully crafted tote bags, pouches, picnic blankets, and hats. Driven by a shared commitment to sustainability, Mylle, Studio Howard, and PGF successfully created a collection that showcases innovative future-forward solutions with exceptional design and craftsmanship.
