Material features:

Materials such as pieces of formwork, safety nets and blue-and-white debris nets from construction sites were recycled and repurposed to create the chairs, which were then coated with natural German varnish.

Steam was used to bend the discarded formwork from construction sites into rounded pieces of wood that form the structure of the stool. The rusted nail holes can still be seen on the surface of the chair from where the iron nails were removed.
The seats of the chairs are made from two different materials. They are either made of recycled boards made from pressed debris netting, or rust-dyed cotton seat cushions whose patterns come from rubbings of leftover construction site materials. A seat with a choice of two materials is the best kind of proof for the transformation that can happen through the Construction Waste Upcycling Project.
