Sustainable design
The word sustainability is not the most pronounced among the exhibitors, perhaps because it is now taken for granted. We have selected two projects that are particularly relevant for their green thinking, content and technology. The Bolete collection by Patricia Urquiola for Andreu World includes a modular upholstered lounge chair and armchairs, a table and a coffee table, all characterised by a base that is solid to the eye but light for the environment.
The central ‘T’ base of the seats and tables, furrowed by a ribbed texture, is made with the exclusive BIO thermopolymer developed by the company, a material of 100% natural origin, non-fossil, compostable and biodegradable at the end of its life cycle. The padding is instead made of Pure ECO thermopolymer, produced with 100% recycled materials and completely recyclable and reusable.
Creavalo is a young brand – the most interesting of the NUDE section dedicated to new talents – founded in Valencia in 2023. Under the artistic direction of Odosdesign, it creates complements, objects and covering panels made of pressed textile waste. Each product is perfectly circular: 100% reusable, recyclable, reversible.
