📰 What if we approached the ‘group project for all humanity’ this way?
CITYHOPPERS is a digital magazine that explores global trends and urban lifestyle. From Seoul and Tokyo to New York and Paris, they spotlight brands and designs that spark conversations about sustainability, mindful consumption, and small changes in everyday life.
In their November 4, 2025 feature, CITYHOPPERS introduced PIGLAB as “a brand that untangles thorny environmental issues through soft, approachable design.”
🌱 Stories That Bloom from What’s Been Thrown Away
PIGLAB, short for Product Inspired by Green, is an upcycling lifestyle brand that draws inspiration from nature and reinterprets discarded resources through design.
We don’t simply ask, “What has been thrown away?” we begin by asking, “What could this become?” From forest and ocean motifs, we give new purpose to materials like waste wood, discarded fishing nets, and leftover toothbrush plastic.
📦 Telling Stories Through Products
1. Snail Unboxing Cutter 🐌
Inspired by the endangered Korean land snail, this compact cutter makes unboxing a joy. Whether it’s tape, envelopes, plastic wraps, or food seals it safely opens them all. Made from non-toxic recycled wood (CXP), it’s designed to fit perfectly in your hand and bring awareness to endangered species in your daily routine.
2. Turtle Bottle Opener 🐢
Sparked by the tragic image of a green sea turtle ingesting plastic waste, this multipurpose opener works on bottles, cans, and PET lids. It’s made using actual discarded fishing nets collected from the ocean turning waste into a tool for change.
3. Woodpecker’s Forest Pen Holder 🐦
Inspired by the endangered black woodpecker, this multi-functional pen holder is crafted from waste wood and leftover PLA from toothbrush production. It functions as a pen stand, pencil sharpener, card holder, clip dispenser, and phone stand — all in one. Push the branch button, and the woodpecker emerges with a clip in its beak a fun, thoughtful way to interact with sustainability.
🌍 Where Ecology Meets Everyday Life
CITYHOPPERS describes PIGLAB as “a brand that turns sustainability into tangible experience.”
We believe meaningful change doesn’t start with slogans it starts with the small tools we use every day.
Tackling the “group project of saving the planet,”
