Design in harmony with nature. Review of the most interesting projects

21 of April '23

Tomorrow, April 22, we celebrate Earth Day, and on this occasion we present projects that combine original design and ecology.

ANTROPO chair

The furniture designed by Wojciech Mierzwa is an example of a closed-loop product. It was made with 3D printing technology using advanced robotics and modern recycled material. The plastic is obtained from waste wood and biopolymers. It is reusable for multiple uses. Antropo is also available in a version made of plastic sourced from old fishing nets fished from the Baltic Sea.

- It is an object incorporating human ergonomics into its shape and made just for the sake of it. The result of the entire process of our evolution. The result of human skill, robotics and technological advancement, which we have been reaching for centuries. There is modernity and humanism in it. It is an object on a human scale, shy of the artifacts that define the ages. The word "anthropo" lies in the essence of this chair - says Wojciech Mierzwa.
