This space is for anyone within its community to shop, donate, upcycle and socialise with friends and family. It’s purpose is to promote second hand shopping by making it more enjoyable. It plays a part in the cycle of donating, buying and mending items which allows people to have a less wasteful lifestyle. The main feature is the ‘moving clothing rack’, a motorised clothing rack which allows clothes to travel into and around the shop and then back out. When new clothes arrive they can be put onto the rack then travel into the shop for customers to view, it is based around the concept idea of cycle or 'journey' that the items go through instead of being put to waste.

Short stop motion of the 'moving clothing rack', the main feature of the hub.
