Hornbach Builds Working 35mm Camera from Hardware Store Supplies

Hornbach's new campaign, 'Built from Hardware Store Supplies,' showcases a series of films shot on a fully functional 35mm film camera constructed entirely from items sold in its stores. Created by HeimatTBWA\, the campaign includes two main films and a behind-the-scenes documentary. Five makers from Europe built the camera over seven days at a Hornbach store in Bucharest, using a magnifying glass for the lens, a cement mixer to drive the film, and a cut-open organic waste bin as a lens hood. The campaign aims to demonstrate the breadth of Hornbach's product range and celebrate the maker spirit, contrasting with AI-generated imagery. It was developed over 1.5 years following a decade-long idea period, timed with the #HornbachCamera project.
