2022 Edition

In the Foamy project, we are envisioning a new and exciting life for waste foam material Polimix from the local Czech manufacturer Yate. We designed small collection of furniture intended for indoor use in public spaces (eg. libraries, hospitals, …). We gained the inspiration from the material itself – its eye-catching surface in combination with its physical properties make it a great option for seating. As there are certain limitations regarding its technology of recycling (it can be currently produced only in limited formats and sizes) we decided to work with segments of foam which are held together by metal frame. Bases and side panel are made out of recycled plastic boards manufactured by local group Plastic Guys. Our designs are modular and each part can be replaced when signs of wear occur. This would not only prolong the life span of the furniture and enable easy repair but also reduce the necessary storage space and enable an easier transportation.
