ABSTRACT
This chapter points to a re-reading of the concept of pre-art crafts presented by Lina Bo Bardi from the analysis of artifacts produced with the reuse of packaging and reuse of discarded utensils, currently sold at the São Joaquim market in Salvador-Bahia, Brazil. Methodological procedures used for this investigation were the field research, data collection from semi-structured interviews, iconographic survey, and literature review. This chapter proposes a look at the modes of production and preservation of Afro-Brazilian culture as a reference for the construction of an original, resilient, sustainable, and autochthonous design. The concept of object referenced here is supported by the thought of philosopher Vilem Flusser and his idea of information from materials extracted from nature as a possibility for the future of design. As a result of this research, we found new possibilities for re-information of objects that, in a cycle, form a productive and self-sufficient chain, in a way that points to new responsibilities and possibilities for the future of design exercise on a depleted planet.
