Through years of research and testing, we invented Matek

TM

.

The uniquely patented materials enable us to make furniture of waste materials

by combining fibre with a binder. Coffee bean shells, extracted during the

roasting process, are an example of fibre material. Sawdust from wood production

is another. The binder material is made from plastic waste or a plastic-based

alternative. The mix of materials results in a unique compound suitable for press

moulding.

The technology behind MatekTM allows us to capture carbon in our furniture by

recycling waste into timeless designs using resources already available to us, instead

of virgin materials. To produce MatekTM, we either use post-consumer waste or post-

industrial waste available to us through successful collaborations with large-scale

corporations.
