What does the future of furniture look like?
In our latest edit, Future Focus: Material Thinking, we explore this question through a curation of brands reimagining what furniture is made from, and why it matters.
From the Toogood Gummy Chair, made from coconut husk and wool, to Fogia's Kern, an upcycled marble material composed of 85% quarry waste, these are objects designed with circularity at their core.
Mattiazzi combines responsibly sourced timber with solar‑powered Italian manufacturing. Their recent Paf Paf collection takes this further, exploring disassembly through foam‑free cushions and removable fabric covers.
At Normann Copenhagen, material innovation continues across collections. The Bit Stool by Simon Legald is made from 85–95% low‑density polyethylene industrial waste. At the same time, the Mat Collection uses renewable fibres, hemp and seagrass, to engineer an alternative to the traditional plastic chair shell. Explore the full collection.
