Determined to exploit the full<br />
potential of waste to create new<br />
building materials, St<strong>on</strong>e Cycling,<br />
a Dutch company, created recycled<br />
WasteBasedBricks which have been<br />
used to build structures in Amsterdam<br />
and Rotterdam. They recently<br />
collaborated with Ultra Studio to create<br />
a cool series of lighting and furniture,<br />
called The WasteBased Collecti<strong>on</strong>,<br />
using their signature material. Minimal<br />
yet beautiful, this series of furniture is<br />
designed to push the boundaries of our<br />
imaginati<strong>on</strong>s about where waste can<br />
take us in the future.<br />

Tamara Orjola wants you to welcome the forest into the living room<br />
via her minimal benches and oval carpet, made from processed pine<br />
needles left over from the timber industry. Pine trees are the world’s<br />
primary source of timber and Orjola’s work explores how the pine<br />
needles left over from industrial producti<strong>on</strong> can be utilised in useful<br />
ways instead of just being discarded. By crushing, soaking, steaming,<br />
binding and pressing the needles, Orjola extracts the pine needles’ fibre<br />
and transforms it into textiles, composites and paper, a material she<br />
calls Forest Wool. Forest Wool is patterned with lines to recall the<br />
needles from which it was made.<br />

packaging is given a new lease of life,<br />

as brightly-coloured garden furniture.<br />
The range comprises outdoor chairs,<br />
tables and planters and each piece<br />
is manufactured entirely from postc<strong>on</strong>sumer<br />
or post-industrial recycled materials<br />
transformed into a high-density polyethylene<br />
(HDPE). If the chairs look familiar, that’s<br />
because they’re inspired by the shape and angles<br />
of the classic Adir<strong>on</strong>dack – a slightly reclining<br />
outdoor seat often made of wood dating back to<br />
the early 20th century. At the end of their useful<br />
life, everything used in these chairs, from the<br />
HDPE plastic to the stainless-steel fasteners, can<br />
be recycled.<br />
