Earth Stool Backrest, 69 cm

The Earth Stool Backrest is the product of Mater's innovative waste-to-value technique which utilizes recycled industrial waste materials such as plastic waste and coffee shells from BKI coffee. This technique, developed in collaboration with Danish Technological Institute and supported by the University of Copenhagen, combines waste materials in a specialized compound ideal for press moulding, resulting in a circular bar stool designed by Danish architect Eva Harlou.

Earth Stool represents classic Scandinavian design with steel frames that make the bar stool elegant and timeless.

The new ground-breaking production technique allows Mater to reuse waste materials and turn it into useful and unique design solutions. Created to support a circular design thinking and the UN SDGs: “Responsible Consumption and Production” (SDGs 12), “Climate Action” (SDGs 13) and “Partnership for the Goals” (SDGs 17).
