The collective Goni Room turns curated trash into vintage treasure to bring back the value of the old.
In Singapore’s early days, most of us were poor. It was then that we had little, and recycling and upcycling were ways of life. Now that we are a first-world nation, we have firstworld problems like mass consumption, valuing only the new and the latest.
Local collective Goni Room, started in January this year by founders SoufiA’aliyah, 24, and Afiq Ayub, 33 (both pictured above), is trying to change that mindset.
“We started Goni Room to reconnect with the world,” says Soufi. “We want to discourage blind consumerism and encourage people to give thrown-aways a second look.”
