Circular Superstructures
Repensar la tapicería mediante el diseño monomaterial
Circular Superstructures es un concepto de asiento blando que utiliza la innovadora fabricación aditiva para crear una estructura monomaterial a partir de TPU reciclado. Este diseño único sustituye a las complejas capas de tapicería y a los adhesivos, lo que hace que el mueble sea fácil de desmontar y eficientemente reciclable al final de su vida útil. La estructura, basada en la geometría, optimiza el confort al tiempo que minimiza el desperdicio de material.

Žofia Horová
My name is Žofia Horová, and I am a Masters graduate in Product Design from the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. My work explores sustainable and data-driven design, combining a hands-on approach to material experimentation with a focus on innovative solutions. In my diploma project, I investigate alternative monomaterial approaches for soft materials in seating design, aiming to reduce waste while maintaining comfort and functionality.
