Steel
The Chee Chair is a bent steel rod and wire chair by designer Tom Fereday. Steel can be recycled an infinite number of times and be reused with no downgrading in quality, minimizing the need for additional raw materials. Zinc-rich primers have been used to protect carbon steel from corrosion. With the development of technology zinc primers can now be applied as thicker films, which provide even better protection for the lifespan of the steel structure.
Metal, Resins and 3D Modelling
This table is part of the Dune Formation installation by Zaha Hadid Architects. The sinuous shape is a result of the combination of metal and resins with advanced 3D modelling techniques and the processes of digital production. The resins used in the process are a naturally-occurring organic compound that is sourced from plants and is 100% recyclable.
Woven Vinyl
The floor is part of Bolon’s Emerge collection which enjoys a reputation for consisting of extremely durable products with lengthy useful lifespans. It consists of 39% calcium carbonate, 37% PVC, 18% plasticisers, 2% fibreglass and 2% stabilisers and 1% pigment. Bollon’s plastic raw material, PVC, is made of 57% salt and 43% oil that, via chemical processes, forms a polymer. The result is a durable plastic that is free from harmful chemicals. The unique polymer structure makes the PVC 100% recyclable multiple times after its long useful life.
