All for one and plastic products for all!

Cohni Lee, Hyeontaek Choi and Minjung Cho are three friends from Korea who teamed up into a PRAG Studio (ex @circle Activity) located in Seoul.

The three Musketeers who know themselves since the Kookmin university days are making nice products from the machines they’ve built (pic of their funny and great chandeliers bellow) and are also making other people interested in recycling plastic and building machines.

Their preparation for building machines started way back in January 2016. First thing to do was knocking on a door to Seoul Youth Hub who decided to support  them in their project. So, they made their hands dirty in July 2016 and built machines.

The part PRAG in the name “PRAG Studio” stands for pragmatic, which is way better name than their former “Circle Activity” in their saying.

“In Korea, Circle Activity stands for after-school club and people were asking us if we are still students, but it’s been 3 years that we left our school. So this new name is more suitable.”

To spread the word about Precious Plastic, these guys even made a conference for interested people. They shared their process of making and using their machines with people and that went quite well. Check more pics from conference here.

After making those great chandeliers with some Tome Dixon fake lightning alike moulds their plan is to make small pots.

“Yes, our plan is to make a small pot now. With chandeliers we wanted to get people to recognize Tom Dixon’s but made from recycled plastic! How cool is that!”

Their main development plan is to make smaller machines which will be easier to use to anyone and help them to see the great possibility of reusing plastic and cleaning environment around them. Also, they want to start a project in which they will trade some of their products for some clean plastic. Great idea!

We want to say thanks for your effort of spreading the word about Precious Plastic and about plastic problems in general. Keep it up Musketeers! All for plastic and plastic products for all!

You can follow their progress and work on their site or on their Instagram account (@pragstudio).
