About moware design
moware design is a social enterprise dedicated to upcycling waste into beautiful high-quality products.
moware design was born in 2013 as a design-led intervention to give meaning to the waste left behind in the Himalayas. The company started to promote paper waste management in offices while giving employment to low-income women from Nepal.
Over the years, moware design started to experiment and work extensively with other types of waste such as aluminium, wrappers, and glass bottles, hence creating a wide range of high-quality products that includes stationary, jewellery and dining sets. moware design has trained and empowered about 25 low-income women to utilize their skill set and innate love of creation to better their lives and better our planet.
