With the New Store 2.0, Nieuwe Instituut imagines a store where shopping helps the environment instead of harming it. In this second iteration of the experimental pop-up shop, located at socio-cultural centre Stecca 3, Nieuwe Instituut is testing alternative forms of exchange. In this fresh look at how a store of the future might work, the New Store not only proposes, but enacts a new value system involving the harvesting of human hair. Customers are invited for a free haircut, with their trimmings then turned into yarns that can be used for a range of textile products. In demonstrating this system, the store brings together local hairdresser Alberto Fucci, sustainable yarn producer Human Material Loop, and designer Woo Jin Joo.
