The trio of shelves is made up of 3 recycled plastic boards and 6 wall brackets. The board of this shelf is made from PET plastic packaging. Translucent blue is dotted with colors bursts echoing oceans’ corals!
NB: Each tray has its own story and is unique, colors and patterns can vary, that’s what makes this collection so charming
A sustainable approach
TIPTOE’s mission is to make sustainable furniture, well-designed, well-made and build to last. In line with these values, we have spent several months putting together this collection of tables and shelf units in recycled plastic, designed with the future of furniture firmly in mind. There’s still a long way to go, but we firmly believe that our sector, too, must align with new modes of consumption and we want, in our own small way, to start the ball rolling!
A minimalist and colorful bookshelf
Our aim is to demonstrate that it is possible to design objects in recycled plastic that combine beauty and timeless style as well as being long-lasting. The challenge we faced was to go beyond mere recycling and to create extraordinary items that make us completely forget the previous use of the plastic from which they are made!
Each shelf unit is unique and has its own, individual history, that of plastic given a second youth through recycling!
Manufacturing process
The point of this collection was to radically change the initial lifespan of the raw material. To move from a product used for an extremely short, ephemeral period of time (yoghurt pots or packaging) to a worthwhile, solid item! The tables and shelf units in our collection are long-lasting and have been designed to be useful for several generations.
