Working with waste

We are on a constant journey to find new solutions that will

make furniture production more sustainable. We have moved on

from being a sustainability-focused design brand to becoming a

green-tech company with a focus on furniture design – always

on the lookout for ways of doing things differently.

We started our journey incorporating traditional waste materials such as recycled

fishing nets and recycled plastic into our furniture production, moving on to

finding methods and technology that allowed us to develop our innovative

circular MatekTM material - never before seen in furniture production.

Since MatekTM’s first introduction, we have experimented with and

fine-tuned

the technology, allowing us to increase the number of waste streams we can

process to furniture using the MatekTM technology. Our eagerness to develop

and do better has led us to our newest revelation, the bio-degradable version of

MatekTM. A variation made with only natural materials, thus allowing the material

consequently to decompose back to nature.

We want to continue to push the boundaries and strive toward a future where

nothing is considered waste but by preference, a resource to incorporate into new

production cycles.

Today, the global

economy consumes

100 billion tonnes of

materials each year.

Of this, only 7.2%

is recycled.
