Re-ply
Pop-up Architecture | 21+ Installations | New York USAFollowing the Covid-19 pandemic and #BLM protests in June 2020, most NYC businesses barricaded their shopfronts with plywood. This
material was destined for landfill once it had served its temporary purpose.
With a mission to find a second use for the plywood, re-ply’s initiative was to create a cost effective and recycled ‘kit-of-parts’ for restaurant
outdoor dining, to assist NYC’s restaurants, cafés and bars to safely reopen in the midst of the pandemic.
We have since then designed and installed more than 20 projects throughout NYC .
