THE TASTE OF CHANGE :: WALLONIE-BRUXELLES PRIZE :: AND THE WINNER IS… 

COMPETITION, RECENT EN, RECIPROCITY 2015, RECIPROCITY EN

… Violaine Dupuis and her project Tiffin!
It’s a new service that promises few tons less of waste, based on a sharing system of food boxes, that won the Wallonie-Bruxelles Prize awarded this May 4 by the Jury of the Call for Projects THE TASTE OF CHANGE – Design for food.

And how does it work? You subscribe to the Tiffin service in one of the partner restaurants: you pay 10,00 € plus a 10,00 € deposit and you receive your Tiffin box (a compartmentalized plate). Then you call a partner restaurant and order your dish! The restaurant prepares your order in a Tiffin box, that you withdraw by bringing your own Tiffin box. You receive an immediate 5% discount on the takeaway, and that every time. The boxes, reusable order after order, made of 18/10 quality stainless steel are airtight, solid, practical, durable and design. And approved by the restaurants. read more

Welcome to Seraing :: ME TOO, I TRANSESTER!

EXHIBITIONS, RECENT EN, RECIPROCITY 2015, VIDEO

During RECIPROCITY 2012, “Welcome to Saint-Gilles” had demonstrated how design can help catalyze neighborhood changes starting from the local community.
While continuing to work on this project, in 2015 RECIPROCITY also leaned on Seraing, a city in the province of Liege with an important industrial past.
ERIGES (Eriger Seraing) and RECIPROCITY have therefore initiated a collaboration: ERIGES is the autonomous municipal authority (RCA) of Seraing who runs the successful implementation of the Master Plan based on urban renewal and redevelopment of 800 hectares of the city. Design with and for the people. read more

It is a free application shortening the distance between producers and consumers of the agri-food sector, designed to revitalize the local economy, which won the Wallonia Price attributed this May 4 by the Jury of the call for projects THE TASTE OF CHANGE – Design for food.

Consuming quality products while supporting local producers is an approach that many of us want to undertake, but without knowing what to do, where to go. Who are the small producers of Wallonia and Brussels? And where are they located? The Eat Local App provides a concrete and immediate response through new technologies. This innovative tool for smartphones and tablets will allow to find fresh local products in two clicks, wherever you are: once you download the app, select the type of desired product and the distance criteria. read more
