About:

What is the lifespan of utility items and where does the manufacturer's product liability end? How can the things we interact with every day continue to serve us beyond their shelf life? The Majesty Skies Re//Defined post-competition exhibition is a creative attempt at answering these questions.

Announced by the Polish ski manufacturer MAJESTY, Majesty Skies Re//Defined is the 2nd edition of a competition for a functional design made from used skis, which culminates in the presented post-competition exhibition.

During the competition, the participants designed and, in the second stage, produced a utility item, using used skis as the main raw material. Their task was to combine aesthetics with functionality and workmanship. The presented works boldly go beyond the boundaries of the traditional approach to ski equipment.  In doing so, they fit in with the brand's mission, which is to create technically and aesthetically perfect ski products, but also to care for reducing their environmental impact.

The competition and the exhibition of competition entries are intended to encourage reflection on ways to promote the idea of sustainability and to inspire the exploration of new possibilities for using used products as a raw material for the re-use.

The exhibition presents unique works, each telling its own story, reflecting not only the designer's talent and vision, but also the spirit of upcycling and environmental.
