Wasted by Potato Head open a month-long exhibition at the SIWILAI Store, with the Wasted 002 collection, designed by Max Lamb. The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday 21 November 2026 and runs until Sunday 20 December.

Rooted in Bali and working with waste sourced across Indonesia, Wasted by Potato Head collects discarded materials and reinterprets them into contemporary furniture and homeware. Developed through an ongoing exchange between British furniture designer Max Lamb and Desa Potato Head’s network of talented local artisans over nearly a decade, the project explores how design can transform waste streams into new materials, objects, and experiences. Guided by Max Lamb’s hands-on, process-driven approach and deep respect for materials, the collection places material processes first—allowing the behaviour, limitations, and irregularities of each reclaimed material to directly inform the final objects.

Potato Head’s ‘nothing to waste’ approach shapes the whole space. Visitors can drink a single origin coffee from Sidikalang, North Sumatra, and the Cascara Honey Lime, a signature drink made from sun-dried coffee cherry husks that usually get thrown away. There are also natural dyed T-shirts made just for the collaboration.
