From ICFF09: Peli Design – Vindication of Plastic Furniture
Article or RSS item submitted by Ty Wenzel • Jul 4th, 2009 • Category: Interiors Exteriors, Style Trend Forcasting |
Do you like plastic furniture? For me - I would say 'not really'. But have a look at these Plastic Stools from PeliDesign presented at ICFF09.
They are created with the aim to explain and show how and why plastic furniture can co-exist with wooden furniture, how plastics and wood can be fused and may be even plastics can be used to repair wooden furniture!
"The Plastic Nature is a furniture concept which exemplifies the connection of the "plastic-world" and the world of wooden furniture....When wood is machined, material is always taken away - contrary to plastic. In plastic manufacturing there is hardly any waste because plastic is cast in shapes and leftovers molten again for further casting. With the PlasticNature I wanted to fuse handmade furniture and injection-moulded plastic furniture."
