Tiptoe Venezia Recycled Plastic Coffee Table - Ash Pink
Produktbeschreibung
The VENEZIA coffee table is made of 4 TIPTOE coffee table legs 43cm and a recycled plastic tabletop 80cm. The VENEZIA table top is made from a hundred pots of yogurt!
NB: Each tabletop has its own story and is unique, colors and patterns can vary, that’s what makes this collection so charming.
An ecologically-responsible approach
TIPTOE’s mission is to make sustainable furniture, well-designed, well-made and build to last. In line with these values, we have spent several months putting together this collection of tables and shelf units in recycled plastic, designed with the future of furniture firmly in mind. There’s still a long way to go, but we firmly believe that our sector, too, must align with new modes of consumption and we want, in our own small way, to start the ball rolling!
VENEZIA, color pigments and Terrazzo inspiration
Our aim is to demonstrate that it is possible to design objects in recycled plastic that combine beauty and timeless style as well as being long-lasting. The challenge we faced was to go beyond mere recycling and to create extraordinary items that make us completely forget the previous use of the plastic from which they are made!
It takes around 100 yoghurt pots to produce the top for a VENEZIA table! This explains the top’s white colouring. The burst of colours, gold or silver, come from the label fragments which also give us clues about its previous incarnation! The VENEZIA is really a nod to Terrazzo, the celebrated tiles, also traditionally made from cast-offs of other bits of mineral waste. Each VENEZIA table is unique and has its own, individual history, of plastic given a second youth through recycling!
Manufacturing process
The point of this collection was to radically change the initial lifespan of the raw material. To move from a product used for an extremely short, ephemeral period of time (yoghurt pots or packaging) to a worthwhile, solid item! The tables and shelf units in our collection are long-lasting and have been designed to be useful for several generations. It’s a continuous cycle: we transform existing material, which itself can be further recycled when it is no longer useful!
The tabletops of the collection are manufactured using an innovative process. The plastic waste collected is reduced to chippings and then pressed (without any binding agent) so as to form a board. They are specifically designed to fit on to table legs or our wall BRACKETS! The resulting articles are innovative and futuristic items of furniture!
