Inspired Plastics
Artful benches, tables, planters, etc – All the functional items in this lounge are made from 100% locally discarded and recycled plastic. The colors come from plastic items like detergent bottles, food containers or packaging materials, all meticulously sorted, cleaned, separated, and shredded.
The colors and pieces are mixed and melted in different ways to achieve different effects. The two types of plastic that are used, HDPE (Number 2) and PP (Number 5), are similar but have different properties – that is what makes plastic difficult to recycle. Relax, be still, and notice how much plastic has taken over our lives.
