Tech Thursday, Polycarbonate 3/3: From opaque packing crates to the metalized inner faces of car headlights, @lucentiadesign sources waste polycarbonate from diverse sources to create recycled sheet materials like 'Shimmer' and 'Paper' in addition to bespoke commissions and finishes. Lucentia Design considers plastic waste precious, especially polycarbonate since it is tough and has a good fire retardancy, making it perfect for interior artworks. Continue to follow our monthly #TechThursday series! #materialshub #polycarbonate #materialdriven
Tech Thursday, Polycarbonate 2/3: Recycled polycarbonate–from CD's, rooftop windows and chocolate molds–is sorted, blended and turned into ribbon-like forms using low-resolution 3D printing by @dirkvanderkooij. The studio uses the extruded ribbons of recycled polycarbonate to create shell-like forms for their light fixtures, such as their Fresnel light and Buitenhuis Chandlier, which have a beautifully diffused, luminous look as a result of their materiality #materialshub #polycarbonate #techthursday #materialdriven
Tech Thursday, Polycarbonate 1/3: From chocolate molds to eyeglasses, to glazing, electronics, and car headlamps–Polycarbonate is omnipresent in our lives. The lightweight, transparent and impact resistant polymer often substitutes glass. On Tech Thursday, we zoom in on this highly technical and versatile material from @goodfellow_ltd and review its advantages and limitations, while focusing on innovative and circular design based on recycled Polycarbonate. Follow the rest of our #TechThursday series, and visit the Goodfellow #MaterialsHub for a full review of the material itself #polycarbonate #materialdriven
New material additions 3/3 And last but not least, we are excited to include in our range of #veganleathers four new samples of @fruitleatherrotterdam. This fruit based material is beautifully embossed with leather like textures and feels great to the touch. #fruitleather is a unique alternative to animal based leathers as well as a sustainable solution to all the wasted fruit that isn't sold at the market! Come see us and check them out @thebuildingcentre!
