Circular Superstructures
Umdenken bei Polstermöbeln durch Monomaterial-Design
Circular Superstructures ist ein Sitzmöbelkonzept, das mithilfe innovativer additiver Fertigung eine Monomaterialstruktur aus recyceltem TPU herstellt. Dieses einzigartige Design ersetzt komplexe Polsterschichten und Klebstoffe, wodurch das Möbelstück am Ende seiner Lebensdauer leicht zerlegt und effizient recycelt werden kann. Die geometrisch optimierte Struktur maximiert den Komfort bei gleichzeitiger Minimierung des Materialabfalls.
