Seventeen years after their first collaboration, multi-award-winning English architect Thomas Heatherwick and Magis reunite to push back the boundaries of sustainable design and plastic materials. A blend of innovation and creative daring, their new outdoor furniture collection is made from recycled plastic waste. Named ''In-Side'', this collection turns recycling into a true aesthetic experience.
Thomas Heatherwick explains: ''In a world grappling with the consequences of plastic pollution, the idea behind this new collection is to use waste materials and reveal their inner beauty in unexpected ways. Recycling doesn't have to be less beautiful, it can enable the emergence of joyful, energetic forms.''
It was by rotationally molding two types of recycled plastic - post-consumer polyethylene and post-industrial polyethylene into multicolored flakes - that Thomas Heatherwick and his team discovered the multiple possibilities of this blend. If the plain exterior appeared conventional, once opened it revealed an interior similar to "the inner complexities of a geode".
Endowed with a dual personality, In-Side furniture contains a secret life... In-Side is characterized by a fascinating contrast between the sober, monochrome exterior and the interior, which reveals an explosion of color. The irregular, multicolored pattern evokes a splash of paint or a shower of confetti. The inner surface is made of multicolored Polyethylene flakes from post-industrial waste. Each piece is unique, with color and pattern varying slightly from one to the next.
The monochrome outer surface is made from post-consumer plastic waste, and features a very slightly speckled, irregular surface.
The effect of contrast and surprise gives In-Side furniture a dual personality, both sophisticated and playful, bringing a touch of poetry to everyday life.
The "In-Side" collection includes three pieces designed for outdoor use: a 3-seater sofa, an armchair and a coffee table. These open structures feature strange curves and organic lines, reflecting Thomas Heatherwick's penchant for biomorphic forms.
Weather-resistant, the In-Side collection can be moved from the living room to the terrace as the seasons change.
By combining comfort, aesthetics and ecological commitment, Thomas Heatherwick and Magis are encouraging consumers to make more conscious choices. In-Side proves that sustainable design can be beautiful, useful and avant-garde, while meeting the needs of high-end furniture enthusiasts.
