Screw stool made from waste plastic

Collaboration: 4th place and Isy Studio
2023-11-1660

This screw stool emphasizes eco-friendliness in both the process and the result. Utilizing the screw joint technology already in use in traditional woodworking, the stool is assembled from post-consumer plastic instead of wood to create a sturdy and durable product, and because no pieces or bonds are used, each part can be easily removed and recycled at the end of the product's life. Not to mention the weight-bearing durability of the product, the ease and enjoyment of assembly makes it a versatile stool that can be expanded into other designs.

 

Maker 4th place

 

"Bottle caps are a common material in upcycling. It is easy to make flake material due to its softness and low volume. It was an experience to interpret a commonly used material in a different way by using screws to add a function by utilizing the original shape of the bottle cap."

 

Designer Isy studio

 

"I joined the project with the expectation of 'what would be the outcome if we worked together on a project based on the technical skills of makers and my design experience?' By collaborating with makers who are serious about recycling and the environment, it was an opportunity to think about genuine sustainable design, not just showmanship. We were able to make the best design by thinking about the environment, function, usability, and beauty, not just aesthetics."
