Plastic Waste Textural Benches

Innovation is bringing us new hope

Rotterdam-based design studio The New Raw unveils its Knotty Project during this year's Milan Design Week, where architects Panos Sakkas and Foteini Setaki showcased a range of benches. This series has a unique textural look due to a material that reflects the look of knitted textiles, hence the namesake. Visitors are able to see the experimental project at Alcova, which will be on display between April 17th-23rd.

The studio explains how it was created, stating “We use analogue knitting techniques in homage to the continuous thread of the manufacturing process, testing them out on large and hard furniture surfaces. With our work we want to tangibly express the transition from traditional to digital, and from virtual to physical, with a twist,”
