With the development of human beings, the world is suffering from more and more serious pollution. Air pollution, light damage, soil pollution, water pollution and man-made garbage are eroding the vitality of the earth step by step. Among them, the harm of man-made garbage is more easily overlooked.
fortunately, with the enhancement of social environmental awareness, people began to seek various ways to solve this problem as much as possible. Maybe you haven't thought about it, man-made garbage is not completely useless. Because they can also be used to make meaningful furniture and household items.
Using recyclable waste to make "broken furniture"
The founder of Pentatonic is Johann B? Decker and Jamie Hall. They call man-made garbage "the most abundant but dangerous resource in the world", and invent garbage into new materials, and use design to make beautiful furniture with the same superior performance.
They cooperated with Snarkitecture Studio to create a series of modular Fractured made of recycled waste, including a series called "Broken". This series includes a bench and a table, and their biggest feature is that there is a huge crack in the center. They are all made up of man-made garbage. Each bench costs 24 plastic bottles, 45 aluminum beverage cans, 12 food packaging bags and 4 car bumpers.
The table costs 129 cans, 14 food packages and coffee lids, and 6 car bumpers.
why do you want to look like there is a crack? The founder said that this reflects the process of "recycling", because these furniture are made from broken garbage back to a whole.
This series adopts nitrogen-assisted injection molding, which is patented by the company? AirTool? Completed in the system. This technology is also used to manufacture the most complex modern automobile parts.
this makes every part of the product hollow, lighter and stronger, and uses as little material as possible. The leg parts of the table and chair are designed in a form that can be bent and changed in height, which makes this series have many possibilities for free combination.
Furniture can be easily pushed together or separated, and in any form, it is stable and usable.
except? Fractured series, they also made a series before, which was exhibited at the London Design Festival.
Of course, these furniture are also made of all kinds of rubbish, but the biggest feature is "modularity" and the flat packaging samples that can be customized are adopted.
through your assembly and matching, this series can be adapted to various scene applications in life, work and so on.
in addition to furniture, they also use discarded screens of smart phones to make glassware. They think that the glass of smart phones is the best quality glass on the planet.
the studio "From Us With Love" with the name of recycled sawdust and plastic
was established in 25, and since its establishment, it has cooperated with many famous brands.
and this chair named "Odger" is the result of their three-year project, which explores how to use sustainable composite materials to make economical seats.
The seat is injection molded, and the material before injection molding is a mixture of 7% recycled plastic and 3% recycled wood chips. And these recycled plastics and recycled wood naturally come from man-made garbage.
This chair is available in blue, white and brown. It has a curved back and is located on the base. The whole chair can also be assembled directly without screws. Just use this attached locking key, you can fix the parts with a simple twist and click.
This chair has the characteristics of simplicity, comfort, economy and beauty, and the most important thing is its awareness of environmental protection.
in addition to this chair, they also cooperated with IKEA to design and manufacture a kitchen made of plastic bottles.
This kitchen is made of plastic bottles and recycled wood, mainly concentrated in cabinets. These cabinets were named "Kung *** acka" by IKEA, and they are the first cabinets made entirely of environmentally friendly materials in IKEA.
the main structure of the cabinet unit is made of recycled wood, while the coating is made of plastic bottles. The simple style of black is intended to create an eternal design, and modular design is also adopted.
under the study of the studio, it is estimated that this kitchen unit can last for 25 years.
for From Love With Love, environmental protection should start with design, and make the products low in cost, low in price and durable, so that everyone can afford them and be willing to make their own efforts for environmental protection.
Make a stool with 6 styrofoam boxes every day
This hexagonal stool named RR21 is made by Andreu Carulla, a designer from Spain. His product design studio of the same name is one of the most representative design companies in Spain today.
RR21 stool was made by him for the Michelin three-star restaurant El Celler de Can Roca in Spain, which is often rated as one of the top ten restaurants in the world. The restaurant has implemented a zero-waste policy and started a recycling plan called Roca Recicla, which is part of the official plan of this stool.
The material of this stool is expanded polystyrene, which is what we often call foamed plastic. This material is difficult to remove, recycle and use, but the designer put forward a new technology and made a chair.
the polystyrene box is cleaned and chopped into raw materials, and then put into a grinding tool, and steam is injected, so that it can be bonded and compacted in the grinding tool to form a new material.
after the surface is coated with environmental protection, it becomes this very durable and lightweight RR21 chair. Its overall weight is less than 2kg, and there are three colors to choose from.
A restaurant can use six styrofoam boxes every day to make such a chair.
It never occurred to me that plastic bottles, waste wood, bumper bars of cars or foam plastic boxes, which had nowhere to put them, could turn into beautiful and environmentally friendly furniture. Compared with many people who can only shout slogans, some studios are more mobile. Because they personally practice and promote environmental protection by exerting their own design strength.
like this design, I hope there will be more and more such designs! Let this series have a lot of possibilities for free combination.
