With the acceleration of environment pollution due to rapid economic development and mass production since the Industrial Revolution, all the world have been concentrating on research and development for maintaining the environment of the earth. Furthermore, the design fields, the results of mass production, have been pursuing research and development for eco-friendly design. Such a movement made the eco-friendly materials and sustainable design drawing substantial attention. Recently, the importance of recycling design has been occupying significant attention. Such trends indicate the necessity of research on textile design closely related to daily life.
This study aims to interpret such social phenomenon by examining the textile design recycling wallpapers and papers in the textile and identifying the importance of recycling design and directions of development. This study was required because papers have property that facilitates the approach of recycling design and wallpapers are not actively reused while acceleration of interior design change in most households increases waste production. Furthermore, the recycling design using papers has been actively deployed abroad. It is difficult to find out any cases recycling wallpapers as compared to other kinds of papers.
Accordingly, this study examined the concept and background of recycling design and investigated the recycling design cases of wallpapers and papers abroad as well as in Korea through literature review and search on Internet. By collecting the waste wallpapers and developing the textile design using weaving and plaiting methods based on the theoretical background, this study tried to present the positive appearance of recycling design and suggest the basis for further study as well as the diversity of materials and products of recycling design.
