Waste Concrete and Red Bricks Come Together to Make a Tabletop

Concrete, red bricks, glass, metal pipes, and other leftover materials from a construction site were recycled and used to assemble the table, which is a representative piece of the recycled furniture produced by the second interdisciplinary collaboration between META and Saiens.

Rustic Textures Give the Feeling of Being at a Construction Site

The structure of the sofa is made from discarded formwork from a construction site, and the roller cushions are made of the blue plastic protective foam that is wrapped around aluminum door frames during construction. The original size of the foam was retained; after it was pressed, it created a unique texture.

Material features:

Scrap iron parts from a construction site were recycled and paired with leftovers of a material developed by Miniwiz to create these lights.

The light fixture was made from discarded electrical conduit from a construction site. The conduit was cut by laser and then the concave lines were outlined.
The plastic material used for the upper edge of the light is from leftovers from a reclaimed building material made from recycled yellow and green safety nets and blue-and-white canvas.
The geometric lines radiating from the body of the light fixture create a mystical atmosphere of changing light and shadow.

A discarded iron pipe was cut and bent into shape.

The top is edged with recycled plastic sheet.
